China is stepping up censorship of online gaming to root out pornography, eliminate threats to state security and to stop youths becoming addicted, Xinhua news agency said on Monday…
New industry standards would require developers to amend games that can cause addiction and a group of “quality games” would be recommended, Xinhua said without elaborating. New censorship of online games started in April and would last until September, targeting pornography, gambling, violence and games “threatening state security”, Xinhua reported…
Addressing rampant piracy in the industry, the campaign would also punish “illegal behaviour” that infringes on intellectual property rights and disturbs market order, Xinhua said.
