Representatives of the two sessions gave many suggestions.
Some mentioned a complete ban, some proposed the establishment of a classification system, and some proposed the development of functional games. What do you think?
With the accelerated evolution of 5G, cloud computing, VR and other industries, the proportion of "stay-at-home economy" will increase, and the scale of the online game market will further expand.
In 2021, the National Press and Publication Administration issued a notice on "Further Strict Management and Effectively Preventing Minors from Indulging in Online Games", which strictly limits the time for providing online game services to minors.
"Minors' addiction to online games can easily affect their normal study and life. Minors who are addicted to online games often have low interest in learning, poor grades, and often develop closed personalities due to lack of communication in interpersonal communication. "Said Sha Baoqin, deputy to the National People's Congress and principal of Shangjie Experimental Primary School in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province.
They said: Completely stop providing online game services to minors
Li Jun, a deputy to the National People's Congress, party branch secretary of Xiuyun Village, Baiyi Town, Cangxi County, Guangyuan City, and director of the village committee, believes that it is not enough to limit the game time alone, and the game should be managed in different levels.
He proposed that
online games should be prohibited from being open to minors
, and service providers who provide online games to minors should be held accountable according to the "Law on the Protection of Minors".
In addition, Li Jun called on
celebrity artists not to endorse online game advertisements
, and to implement total control over the display advertisements of game categories in various media and Internet push, so as to reduce the impact on minors.
Li Yan, deputy to the National People's Congress and president of Qilu Pharmaceutical Group, proposed to
completely stop providing online game services to minors and include them in the "Law on the Protection of Minors"
.
Li Yan further mentioned that the prohibition of providing online game services will also be included in the "Minors Protection Law", and severely crack down on companies and platforms that provide online game services to minors; increase the number of games that provide online game services to minors. The supervision and punishment of operators and platform service providers, once found, will be resolutely withdrawn.
Li Yan also suggested that
the sale of cracking software that restricts access to the Internet by minors should be clearly prohibited
, and that the Central Cyberspace Administration and public security organs should take the lead in carrying out clean-up operations.
Establish a reporting management platform for online games for minors and a complaint platform for selling software that breaks online restrictions on minors. The cybersecurity and informatization department will work with the public security department to strengthen supervision and increase punishment; the full refund system for impulsive online game consumption by minors will be changed
from Under the age of 18 is expanded to block the payment addiction mechanism of online games from the source
.
They said: develop functional games, develop a rating system
Sha Baoqin believes that for minors addicted to online games, parents and teachers who are worried mostly adopt simple and rude countermeasures, hoping to solve the problem with a stormy offensive.
This kind of prohibitive regulation cannot achieve real effect, but will increase the resistance and rebellious psychology of young people.
Sha Baoqin suggested that the state should force all online games to use new anti-counterfeiting technologies such as face recognition to log in, and actively plug technical loopholes.
In order to prevent minors from borrowing, renting out, or purchasing adult accounts in order to evade supervision.
In order to implement the measures to prevent mobile phone addiction, Sha Baoqin believes that
functional games should be vigorously developed
.
"The so-called functional game refers to a game that highly simulates the operation of real professional skills. Its training significance is greater than entertainment purposes, and it focuses more on the training of personal skills." Sha Baoqin said, such as skill games that simulate driving and maintenance, and simulation
training , build game of life and more
.
Wang Jue, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy head of Putuo District, Shanghai, said that in recent years, with the continuous development of the film and television industry, text publishing, and online media, cultural products involving young people have become more and more diverse in form, richer in content, and more widely spread. Channels have also become more and more complicated, and some related film and television works, online games, etc. have also aroused widespread concern and controversy in the society.
Wang Jue suggested that the content review dispute resolution mechanism involving government departments, content producers, industry experts, and guardians should objectively and fairly
take into account the interests of minors, cultural product production, distribution or dissemination parties, etc. , reduce the situation of overcorrection or "arbitrary killing", and further create a benign environment for the development of minors' cultural products
.
The Central Committee of the Democratic League also suggested that
an online game rating system suitable for China's national conditions should be formulated, and an online game rating committee composed of experts in education and psychology should be established to regulate the content development of online games for different age groups
.
Set access conditions for online game licenses, strengthen special supervision of online game business sites, and strictly conduct self-examination and self-correction before products go online.
In terms of fee deduction, the Central Committee of the Democratic League suggested that
the charging standards and deduction methods of online games should be strictly regulated, the appeal and acceptance mechanism for irrational consumption of minors in games should be improved, and a unified and clear refund standard should be formulated to force enterprises to implement it
. Market-guided prices are implemented for props and point card consumption, and minors are strictly prohibited from online consumption, and it is strictly forbidden to complete payment by transferring mobile phone charges or directly charging through unknown text messages.
The Central Committee of the Democratic League also suggested that the punishment of online game companies should be strengthened, focusing on the investigation of online game products with a large number of users and a large social impact, and focusing on cracking down on private server infringement, live broadcast infringement, and operating with version numbers, illegal services for minors, and online games. Illegal acts such as lottery drawing and gambling, especially vague illegal acts that affect the physical and mental health of young people such as pornography, gambling, and fraud, need to be investigated for legal responsibility.
