Midnight ban on gamers
In its effort to control game addiction among adolescents, South Korea pulled the plug this weekend on young gamers after midnight, putting a hotly debated law (0) into practice.
The new system, called the "Shutdown Law", also referred
as the "Cinderella Law", blocks those under the age of 16 from accessing gaming websites after midnight. This has fuelled heated anger
younger gamers.
As South Korea,
has one of the world's richest online gaming cultures, tries to battle gaming addiction that has led to serious consequences, it struggles to find effective means to selectively help those in need.
government is heavily involved in treating people for gaming addiction
holding workshops on prevention and offering counselling.
However, internet users have flooded the government's website with postings, calling the new measure "a waste of money", "idiotic" and "useless", and questioning
it will prevent young gamers from playing into the late hours.
The controversial shutdown system already faces a petition in court. "The bottom line is that,
the parents' point of view, it violates their right to educate their children", said Lee Byung-chan, the lawyer who filed the petition
behalf of a group of parents. The fate of the petition is to be decided upon next Monday.
