Crackdown targets game addiction
The Interior Ministry has issued a regulation to tackle computer game addiction and control hard disks, especially those used for playing games at cafes, police spokesman Lt-General Achirawit Suphanphesat said yesterday.
Achirawit said the regulation would control the rental, exchange, distribution or screening of games and other media. Under-18s will be banned from gaming cafes after 10pm every day and before 2pm from Monday to Friday. "We have laid down the order in response to widespread game addiction that has caused family and social strife," he said. He said police had assigned chiefs to every province to help enforce the law.
