Gaming time has no link with levels of wellbeing, study finds - BBC News - 0 views

  •  
    "In China, children are allowed to play for only one hour per day, on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. But many gamers around the world say that their playing helps their mental health.

    "For many years, even TikTok's critics grudgingly admitted that no matter how surveillant and creepy it was, it was really good at guessing what you wanted to see.
