A Russian lawmaker wants to shut down internet service at night. Mikhail Ivanov thinks couples would have more babies if they stopped using phones after dark. The politician says young people waste time scrolling social media instead of talking to each other. He serves as deputy for Bryansk Regional Duma and leads the Orthodox Russia movement. Ivanov believes internet addiction hurts Russian families.
The proposal would block internet access from 11 PM until 2 AM each night. Ivanov calls late-night phone use a threat to the country's population growth. He says couples choose video games and TV shows over making children together. The plan would need help from internet companies and government agencies to work. Social services might also support the voluntary experiment.
Ivanov complains that Russians ignore their partners for digital entertainment. He thinks the internet destroys family relationships across the nation. Young couples spend hours watching videos rather than building strong marriages. The lawmaker wants to ban entertainment websites during those three hours. He believes temporary limits on fun content would help Russia's future.
