Children who are forced to install youth mode to Tencents and others -ZDNET JAPAN

　Tencent (Tencent), a prosecutor's prosecutor, a prosecutor's office in Beijing, has filed a lawsuit that it has violated the law on minor protection.It is a new improvement order for the company, which has already been required to improve in the game.Let's explain step by step.

　The Chinese government has ordered businesses that provide services such as online games, online video distribution, and live streaming to provide an upper limit on usage time and billing so that minors do not get too excited.This is the content described in Article 74 of the revised version of the revised version, "Minors Protection Law," enforced on June 1.Article 75 states that the utilization of an online game electronary certification system for minors operated by the Chinese government and online games should not be provided from 22:00 to 8:00.

　In addition, the Chinese government's Internet Measures Division, a national network, has announced the “Seirou / Semodious Minor Metropolitan Metropolitan Environmental Action”, aiming to use a healthy Internet during the summer vacation.This is to reduce the distribution of short movies and live -commerce for minors, prohibit ads for pornography / violent content for minors, and do not use bad stamps with bad expressions.This includes "measures against insufficient youth mode in various services".Youth mode has been introduced, but the authorities are still dissatisfied.

　Youth mode includes Tencent's instant messenger "WECHAT", a short movie service of a character jumping (byte dance), "Douyin" in the Chinese version of Tiktok, and a "good hand" that competes with the sound.It has been introduced in a standard app.Behind this, in March 2019, the National Netpan instructed the introduction of a youth net poisoning prevention system to a short movie service such as the sound, and in October of the same year, major live streaming services.A video platform was also eligible.

　Under these circumstances, the sound was the first to respond.In the youth mode, the distribution time and billing amount are limited, and the use of more than 40 minutes requires a password entry, and if it cannot be released, it is impossible to use the service on the day.In addition, it will not be available from 22:00 to 6:00 the following day.

　It is said that there are about 1 billion Chinese Internet users.Among them, about 90 % of short movie services such as Tiktok will be used by 900 million people.In particular, if there are many young users and the use is limited to the use, the service time will be greatly reduced.Nevertheless, it is an update that has recently been negative for business performance, but has been evaluated by its prestigious Chinese media such as the People's Daily and Xinhua.

　On the other hand, even though he has introduced youth mode, it is difficult to say that it is well restricted.It can be used in the middle of the night, and you can see content such as pornography / violence that is not suitable for young people.You can also play games through fine trusts.The prestigious media mentioned earlier criticized the correspondence of grinding, saying, "Youth mode is only set, but nothing is done."After a while, the prosecutor in Beijing moved.

　Of course.After setting a password to change to youth mode, the child will soon change.It is every country where parents set up a password for unlocking smartphones and their children can easily remember when they use them when they use them.

　When using the Internet service, some name and ID are entered as real name authentication.In China, a young Chinese Internet user knows that committing a crime exposes a criminal's identity, but using its name and number can use services.

　There are also many mobile apps that use mobile phone numbers to authenticate.However, there are cases where the same service can be used from a PC without telephone number.Smartphones and PCs are commonplace for each household, as the new colon virus infections have expanded, online classes have been conducted throughout China.Many children have a means to avoid using a PC.

　Until now, these omissions have been left unattended.There is a risk that if you strengthen your status authentication in order to strengthen youth to respond to youth, like the above -mentioned game regulations, there is a risk that foreigners without identity will not be able to use online services in China.
