The Central Propaganda Department responded to the representative’s suggestion: put the brakes on the road
At the National People’s Congress in 2020, Yang Jinlong, a representative of the National People’s Congress and a teacher at Hangzhou Technician College, put forward suggestions on the prevention of minors’ online game addiction and excessive consumption. It is recommended that biometric "real person authentication" be included in the game registration, login and consumption payment links. "The unity of man and machine, the correspondence between man and machine"
On December 15, more than half a year later, the Central Propaganda Department and multiple ministries and commissions issued a written reply to the proposal.
On March 4, Yang Jinlong told a reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily that he was very pleased with this result and responded to the part of the proposal that "online games should be legislated as soon as possible".
The protection of health games for minors is becoming the focus of attention of the whole society.
According to data from the iResearch Consulting Report, the number of underage game users in 2019 has reached 107 million.
The newly promulgated amendment to the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Minors provides a series of measures to prevent minors from indulging in the Internet.
In the view of Zhu Yongxin, member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and vice chairman of the Democratic Progressive Central Committee, it has become a top priority to formulate a unified national standard for juvenile health games and promote enforcement by the state.
In this year's National Two Sessions proposal, he stated that home, school, and enterprise should coordinate their guardianship responsibilities.
Zhu Yongxin found that in recent years, many game companies have responded to national requirements and established their own protection platforms for minors, such as health systems and anti-addiction systems. However, due to the lack of a unified national standard for the protection of minors, industry data is not interoperable and parents Factors such as weak sense of responsibility, these protection mechanisms and rules still have room for optimization.
Positive changes are taking place in terms of health games for minors.
Yang Jinlong revealed that relevant departments are building a unified national online game real-name verification platform to provide game companies with game user identification services to uniformly verify game user data and accurately verify the identity of minors.
At present, the basic construction of the system has been completed, and enterprises will be organized to connect in batches. In the future, the functions of the real-name verification system will be gradually improved to realize cross-platform use of online game time data exchange.
Zhu Yongxin also suggested to further increase efforts. Based on the current industry regulations, combined with the practical experience of leading companies, the government will take the lead in formulating national standards, establishing a unified anti-addiction platform, and integrating the public security real-name system for verification, and promoting all companies to unify The intensity and method of implementation.
In the reply received by Yang Jinlong, the Central Propaganda Department also responded to the anti-addiction supervision and inspection: in the pre-approval link, it focused on reviewing the settings of the game anti-addiction system, and if there is no anti-addiction system or the settings are not in place, they will all be returned. Revise, resolutely "set the brakes before hitting the road."
The issue of "Internet protection of minors", which has received eager attention from representatives and committee members, has been gradually written into many laws and regulations.
The newly promulgated amendment to the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Minors sets a separate chapter for the protection of minors on the Internet, clarifying the guardianship responsibilities of parents.
The State Press and Publication Administration is currently drafting the "Administrative Measures for Online Games."
A special chapter "Protection of minors" has been set up to clarify the implementation subject of the protection of minors in online games and the responsibilities of competent authorities, relevant units, guardians and all sectors of society, and formulate corresponding penalties for game content specifications and real-name registration. It will be an important basis for online game publishing, operation and management.
In addition, the National Press and Publication Administration, the Central Cyberspace Administration of China, the Youth League Central Committee and other ministries and commissions actively cooperated with the National People’s Congress in launching the revision of the Law on the Protection of Minors, and promoted the establishment of a special chapter on “Internet Protection”. There are clear regulations on the protection of personal information, the prevention and control of Internet addiction, and supervision and reporting mechanisms.
The gradually improved terms and standards call for more effective implementation.
Regarding strengthening the protection of minors and preventing addiction to online games, Zhu Yongxin stated in the proposal that home, school and enterprises should coordinate their guardianship responsibilities.
He used "pre-protection", "in-the-event protection" and "after-the-fact service" to explain the responsibilities of minors' parents and enterprises in different stages of online games.
In the "pre-protection" stage, by binding parents and other guardians to the game accounts of underage users, parents can query minors’ game operation records, game consumption records, game operation reminders, game consumption reminders, and game operations. Time slot settings and game consumption restrictions.
In the "after-the-fact service" phase, all companies should establish and open channels for complaints and reports, formulate uniform and clear refund standards, and give special care to families in need.
At present, relevant departments have required online game companies to set up reporting and complaint channels in prominent positions on the game page to facilitate users to report the situation.
Yang Jinlong also learned from the reply that in order to guide parents, schools and other social forces to fulfill their guardianship and guardianship responsibilities for minors, and to help minors establish correct online game usage habits and consumption concepts, the Central Propaganda Department has published the Both the "Notice of Indulging in Online Games" and the "Administrative Measures on Online Games" that are being drafted emphasize the guardianship and guidance responsibilities of parents and schools.
The Youth League Central Committee will also rely on the 12355 youth service desks and other positions to carry out extensive youth network literacy education.
Multiple departments are forming a joint force of work, and supporting social organizations, professional institutions, and enterprises and institutions to participate in the anti-addiction work of online games to ensure the physical and mental health of minors.
