Regarding the civil public interest litigation filed by the People's Procuratorate of Haidian District, Beijing, WeChat responded that it would carefully examine the function of the WeChat youth model, humbly accept the suggestions of users, and sincerely respond to civil public interest litigation. We attach great importance to the healthy growth of young people, and WeChat will actively assume the social responsibility of protecting and guiding young people.
Previously, on August 3rd, 20021year, Tencent announced through its official WeChat account "Goose Factory Blackboard" that it would gradually launch seven new measures of "double reduction, double reduction and three promotion" for the whole game from the pilot of the glory of the king. This move is also the embodiment of strengthening the youth model in the game.
Since 20 19 Internet Office issued the Regulation on Ecological Governance of Network Information Content to encourage the platform to develop a model suitable for minors, many apps have launched the "youth model", but there are also media reports and user feedback. There are still many problems in the setup and management of various platforms.
Parents: The password setting form is too simple.
Taking Mango TV, Iqiyi and Youku as examples, Caijing has tested the "Youth Mode" of several mainstream long video apps, and three apps need to set a password when opening the "Youth Mode". The guardian can set a four-digit password. If the user chooses to quit "Juvenile Mode", he still needs to enter the same password. Of the three apps, only Youku's password is one-time and must be reset every time it is opened. Mango TV and Iqiyi are the first time to use the set password.
"The four-digit password is too simple. Today's children are very smart. We basically use birthdays to set passwords. Because it is easier to remember, children will come out after a little try, or just guess, probably just a few. A password that is too difficult is afraid that you can't remember it. " Ms. Huang, a parent, told Caijing Technology, "Although some passwords need to be reset every time you log in, who will change a new password every day, and there are not so many new passwords to change, basically one or two are used, so the effect of setting a password only once is actually the same."
"If the password is set only once, can it be more complicated? Can you set it to numbers and letters? It is better to change the password every day than to set it only once, because the child can't guess completely and can reuse the previous one. " Another parent expressed different views on financial technology. She thinks it is safer to increase the password length and change the password every day.
"In addition to the password, can you add your parents' fingerprints or face recognition, and input them together, not afraid to forget the password. "Some parents have put forward new suggestions on the social platform for the setting of' juvenile mode' with only passwords.
Vulgar content still exists
The newly revised Law on the Protection of Minors and the Law on the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency, which were officially implemented on June 1 this year, clearly stated that network service providers such as online games, live webcasts, online audio and video, and online social networking should set up corresponding functions such as time management, authority management, and consumption management for minors to use their services.
On June 3, People's Daily announced the actual measurement of ten anti-addiction "youth mode" of app, and found that there are still loopholes in the "youth mode" of WeChat app. In the "Youth Mode" of WeChat APP, the video number can search for vulgar content and can be linked to the game service number for game download and installation. Although Iqiyi Video has launched the "Youth Mode", its "Iqiyi Anytime" APP has not launched the "Youth Mode", and it can recommend vulgar content and not regulate the use behavior of minors.
After the financial technology test, it was found that after WeChat started the "Youth Mode", the video number had no search function, the vulgar content basically disappeared on the homepage, and WeChat closed the game channel under the "Youth Mode". For the "Iqiyi Suike" APP, the "juvenile mode" was also launched, but the related video content was "vulgar and spoof".
On July 2nd1day, Southern Metropolis Daily released the teenagers' actual measurement of the music platform model: taking five mainstream online music platforms (Netease Cloud Music, QQ Music, migu music, Cool Dog Music and Cool Me Music) as samples, the teenagers' model experience was evaluated one by one. The results show that these platforms lack the exclusive content pool for teenagers, and there are also a large number of functional loopholes such as inducement and recharge.
In terms of cool music, Southern Metropolis Daily found that its youth model was "easy to crack" and "unattended", such as the "beating people" activity to induce users to buy digital albums, the "guess what you like" column on the recommendation page mixed with various adult contents, and the recommended videos also contained vulgar spoof videos.
After the test of financial science and technology, it was found that after the "Youth Mode" was started, Kuwo Music did not have columns such as "Guess what you like" and "Video", so it could not be searched freely and could only be listened to according to the page recommendation.
A variety of game recharge channels are still open to minors.
On August 4th, the glory of the king issued a health system upgrade announcement, forbidding underage users to play from 22: 00 to 8: 00 the next day, and limiting them to 2 hours a day on national legal holidays, and 1 hour at other times. /kloc-users under the age of 0/2 cannot recharge the game; /kloc-users over 0/2 years old/kloc-users under 0/6 years old will be recharged in 50 yuan once and 200 yuan once a month. 16-year-old (inclusive) minor users, the maximum recharge is 100 RMB at a time, and the maximum monthly recharge is 400 yuan RMB.
In order to protect teenagers' physical and mental health, the Notice on Preventing Minors from Indulging in Online Games issued by the State Press and Publication Administration stipulates that online game enterprises can set a travel experience mode of no more than 1 hour for their game services. In the travel experience mode, users can't recharge and pay for consumption.
In May last year, CCTV news survey found that in an online game, you can still recharge your consumption after entering the game as a tourist, and you don't need real-name authentication at all. This practice of registering consumption without real name is undoubtedly very attractive to underage users, and it also increases the possibility of irrational consumption of these users. The survey found that some game software can directly enter the game in tourist mode, and can be recharged, with no limit on the amount.
"Juvenile mode must turn off the recharge function, otherwise it will only limit the time. The youth mode should be a combination of limiting the time of playing mobile phones and turning off rewards, not just time restrictions. " Parent Mr. Liu told Financial Technology.
For many problems of "youth mode", on July 2 1 day, the Central Network Information Office launched a special action of "Renovating the Internet environment of minors in summer", in which the anti-addiction system and "youth mode" were not effective enough. Focus on investigating and solving the loopholes in the anti-addiction system of the website platform, solve the problems of inconspicuous entrance, inaccurate identification, insufficient exclusive content and poor application effect of the "youth mode", further optimize the efficiency of the mode, and strive to prevent minors from indulging in the network.
