Limit Screen Space, Not Just Time

The internet no longer functions like a place we visit but like an environment that occupies rooms, routines, and private moments. Public policy and platform design should therefore address the spatial and ambient presence of screens (where digital activity occurs, how it penetrates private space, and what defaults enable that intrusion), not only total hours of use. — Shifting the frame from 'screen time' to 'screen space' reframes child-safety, labor, privacy, and urban-design debates and points to new regulatory levers (defaults, zoning of digital presence, device/OS boundaries).
