, which they blame for a host of societal ills, including distracting young people from school and family responsibilities. The new regulation, announced by the National Press and Publication Administration, will ban minors from playing videogames entirely between Monday and Thursday. On the other three days of the week, and on public holidays, they will be only permitted to play between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m.
The announcement didn’t offer a specific age for minors, but previous regulations targeting younger videogamers have drawn the line at 18 years old. Enforcement measures weren’t detailed, but in response to previous moves by the government to limit videogame playing by young people, Tencent Holdings Ltd. , the world’s largest videogame company by revenue, has used a combination of technologies, automatically booting off players after a certain period of time and using real-name registration and facial-recognition technology to limit game play for minors.

Mask mandates are upstream of this kind of stuff. Slippery slope if you know what I mean…give the bureaucrats an inch and they’ll keep on taking. “But video gaming is dangerous to your health therefore we have to protect you by instituting this law”
Non sense
