OnePlus is reportedly bailing on the US by Jay Peters

Should the exit actually happen, it will mark a conclusion to months of rumors about the future of OnePlus.

Finland sets tougher guidelines: No social media or smartphones for under-13s

For younger kids, no screen time at all is recommended for children aged under the age of two, with a maximum of one hour of screen time daily for those aged 2–10, rising to two hours for kids aged 11–13.

After reading this I was not sure if this is a done deal or it’s just a recommendation like the dietary guidelines?

I think it’s the latter.
