According to a recent report by the China News Network, Li Jun, a deputy to the National People's Congress, said in an interview with a reporter from China News Network recently that last year, the relevant departments issued a policy to clarify that minors under the age of 18 can only play games for 1 hour a day, and only on weekends. However, some left-behind children in our village use the ID cards of their elders to register for game accounts, and the regulations are useless.
Li Jun suggested that minors should be completely prohibited from playing online games, and developers who provide online game services to minors should be held accountable. All online game developers must force face recognition login, prohibit minors from logging in through face recognition, and conduct face recognition spot checks from time to time during the process of playing the game.
With the acceleration of the pace of life, the pressure of competition intensifies, and the number of patients with psychological and behavioral abnormalities and mental disorders gradually increases. In addition to mental disorders such as depression, game addiction is also a kind of mental illness, and on September 25, 2019, the World Health Organization officially identified addiction to online games or video games and games that hinder daily life as a new mental illness, as a kind of dependence, included in the latest version of the International Classification of Diseases.
According to the surging news, Saxina, head of the Mental Health and Drug Abuse Department of the World Health Organization, said that a person who is addicted to games will lose control of the game and ignore other important activities, such as sleeping, eating, and working, which will cause harm to the person.
Gaming addiction is also known as "gaming disorder". Scientific studies have shown that long-term addiction to online games can change the structure of the brain.
From September 1, 2021, the Notice of the State Press and Publication Administration on Preventing Minors from Addicting to Online Games came into effect, which stipulates: "All online game enterprises can only provide 1 hour of online game services to minors from 20:00 to 21:00 every day on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays, and may not provide online game services to minors in any form at other times." ”
