It isn't a law, it's good communal parenting.

Parents in Greystones chose to delay smartphone access until their children reached the age of 12 as a result of the town-wide agreement. Capatina praised the simplicity and effectiveness of the initiative: “It has completely solved the problem.”

The code’s voluntary nature hasn’t diminished its impact. Despite some opting out, sufficient participation has developed a norm in which being phone-free is accepted. Contrary to misconceptions, Harper clarified their stance: “We’re not against technology…just asking them to wait till secondary school.”
