Efforts sought to curb minors' online addiction

Experts call for stricter supervision on renting out video game accounts

Legal experts have called for cyberspace departments to tighten supervision over e-commerce platforms and ban them from selling or renting online video game accounts meant for adults to juveniles to help prevent children from becoming addicted to the internet.

The experts have also suggested game service providers strengthen facial recognition.

Their advice came after some children were found to be playing games for longer than they're allowed by using adult accounts that had been bought or rented to evade identity verification from the game platforms.
