The harm of online games to minors has been paid more and more attention.

"I sincerely hope that the problem of 'Internet addiction' will attract greater attention. I sincerely look forward to further compacting the responsibilities of online game developers, service providers and online platforms, and further compacting the responsibilities of schools, teachers, government departments, parents and families, so as to solve the prevention and treatment of 'Internet addiction' among minors." Liu Xiuwen said.

The report pointed out that the law should stipulate that all online games facing minors must be approved in advance before they can be put online, and can not simply be managed by the operators themselves. Anyone who may be addicted cannot go online. At the same time, the parents of the injured teenagers, as guardians, can sue these service providers in court. Online games products are also products, any products provided with defects, causing damage to users, is no fault liability, must bear legal liability.

In my opinion, the problem of bullying on campus is closely related to the problem of online games poisoning teenagers. Many school bullying incidents mimic the scenes in the game, the methods used, the tools and the final consequences, all of which are the same. Liu Xiuwen, member of the standing Committee of the National people's Congress (NPC), also paid attention to the problem of Internet addiction for a long time. Whether it is the case in the news report, or the helplessness and pain of some friends around him, his heart is very heavy.

Liu Xiuwen believes that "network protection" has made a series of provisions on the prevention and control of minors' online addiction, reflecting the legislative guidance of preventing and interfering with minors indulging in the network, but these provisions are still relatively general and principles, and need to further highlight and strengthen the control of online games, further strengthen the responsibilities of online game developers, service providers, online platforms and other related enterprises and parents, schools, Supervision and management responsibilities of teachers and government departments.

Committee member Zheng Gongcheng said that a great progress in keeping pace with the times is the addition of a chapter of network protection, which responds to public concerns. However, it is not enough to have positive regulations. It is also necessary to punish the behavior of network damage to the healthy growth of minors and punish the perpetrators in the network.

Zheng's outspoken, manufacturing, spreading and damaging the network games of children and children, such as the production and trafficking of drugs, are not the same in nature, and if the network games that poison children and children are not punished, they are equal to the connivance of the network to make drugs and drug trafficking. As a result, the legal responsibility behind is generally too light. Generally, a fine of RMB 10,000 or more is imposed on the offender, and is not less than RMB 100,000. If the circumstances are serious, it is not more than RMB 50, 000.00 Yuan. Such penalties are not sufficient to form a sufficient deterrent.

Lu Shi-ming, like the ecological environment, used the ecological cost in exchange for a certain economic value, and now the cost of 100 times is the follow-up damage. Now, if a minor has an unimaginable social problem because of an addiction to a network game, it may not be made up at any cost.

On October 26 th, the 14th meeting of the standing Committee of the 13th National people's Congress deliberated on the revised draft Law on the Protection of minors. A number of members of the standing Committee of the National people's Congress pointed out that the "network protection" chapter responds to social concerns and standardizes issues such as Internet addiction, which is worthy of affirmation. At the same time, the participants suggested that the responsibility of enterprises, the government and other relevant subjects should be further increased, the supervision of short video on the network should be strengthened, and the punishment of those who caused by the network should be further increased.

Committee member Lu Shiming said that the economic output value of online games has reached 200 billion yuan, forming an economic pillar. It's a good thing to be the backbone of the economy, "but if you ignore the rule of law and the rules and regulations, you will look at it all in terms of money." From the point of view of economic benefits, some management departments may tend to focus on economic benefits and ignore social benefits. "

Zheng Gong-cheng said no one of the legal liabilities mentioned criminal responsibility, such as online games and "I believe that there should be criminal punishment, no criminal punishment or light economic punishment, and the deterrent force of this law is not enough, and it is hoped that the criminal responsibility should be investigated in criminal law in the legal liability, so that the protection of the minor".

Liu Xiuwen suggested that further strengthen and clarify the responsibility of the relevant enterprises of the network game and play the role of the trade association. Further refining the responsibilities of relevant enterprises such as game developer, service provider, network platform and other relevant enterprises, such as content audit and platform management responsibility of the enterprise, it is preferable to refine the primary responsibility of the enterprise in the manner listed in the articles. At the same time, give full play to the role of the trade associations, and clarify the responsibilities of the trade associations in the development and implementation of industry standards, industry norms, supervision and evaluation management, and the provision of advice to users.
