    Wild: China is banning everyone in the county under 18 from playing games online, except for three hours each weekend. I wonder if they will be more successful with an entire country than I've been with my own kids.https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/08/china-bans-online-gaming-for-minors-except-from-8-pm-9-pm-friday-to-sunday/ …

        China. Has. No. Place. In. The. Future. With. This. Dystopian. Nonsense. (For the record, if this does not create local MMO gaming intranets for neighborhoods and towns outside the scope of government control, nothing will - gamers and gaming is the purest free market impulse.)

        So that would mean there will be roughly 100 million kids that will spend all their free time finding/inventing ways to skirt the censor/internet restrictions. This is going to be inadvertently great for innovation.

        It's not as censored as we might think. My Ex is from China. And she showed my a Chinese website - they still have access to South Park, Winnie the Pooh (they even sell merch in China still) and porn.

        Do you know how they're planning to enforce this?

        It’s only for online games and a lot of games online in China have prepaid cards to access your online account, I’m guessing they will force the game companies to cap customers under a certain age by setting a limit on the max time cards they can buy per week
