Smartwatches turn childhood into a 'like' race

Little Genius in China has gone from a safe tool to a competitive playground full of pressure to compete for 'likes'.

Many Chinese parents buy smart watches for their children as young as 5 years old to communicate and track them.

For kids, Little Genius has become a fiercely competitive platform for accumulating “likes.”

The points system turns every activity into a game, creating social transactions between friends.

Pressure pushes kids to buy bots, sell accounts, or hire services to keep them active to increase “likes.”

Many students spend 4-6 hours a day on credit, affecting their studies and spending habits.

Privacy violations and harmful content are causing concern for parents and authorities.

The Chinese government is drafting national safety standards for children's watches.

Little Genius needs to focus on protecting children and reducing addictive factors to maintain a sustainable position.
