Neal Mohan—Mohan limits his own children's YouTube screen time while running platform criticized for addictive design
In December 2025 TIME interview, YouTube CEO Neal Mohan revealed that his three children do not have unlimited access to YouTube or other digital platforms, with their screen time carefully managed. Mohan stated 'We do limit their time on YouTube and other platforms and other forms of social media.' This personal practice contrasts with YouTube's business model of maximizing watch time and has drawn criticism given ongoing concerns about platform addiction and youth mental health impacts.
