China to limit internet gaming for teenagers

Bad news for all those teenagers over there in China, it seems as if the Chinese government wants to limit the amount of time that teens can spend on the net. At the moment this limit only applies when teenagers are playing games, but who knows what the government will do in the future.

Playing games online has become a huge problem all over the world, as teens seem to switch off from the outside world and just engross themselves in their internet gaming world.

These new rules which came into effect on Monday means that Internet gaming companies have been forced by the Government to install a program, these means that Chinese teens must enter their ID card numbers once their 3 hours of gaming is up they are then prompted to stop.

This new rule applies to people who are under 18 years old.
