The anti-addiction system of online games (referred to as "anti-addiction system" for short) is a technical means proposed by relevant departments in 2005, aiming at solving the current situation of online game addiction among minors.
Since June 2005, the General Administration of Press and Publication, on the basis of extensive consultation, has formulated the Development Standard of Online Game Anti-addiction System and the Real-name Authentication Scheme of Online Game Anti-addiction System. On April 5th, 2007, online game addiction prevention system was implemented nationwide, and it was fully implemented on July 6th.
From June, 2002/KLOC-0 to June, 2002 1, the newly revised Law on the Protection of Minors in People's Republic of China (PRC) came into effect, which opened a new chapter in the protection of minors' Internet. On August 30th, the State Press and Publication Administration issued the Notice of the State Press and Publication Administration on Preventing Minors from Indulging in Online Games, requiring all game companies to provide 1 hour service for minors every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 8: 00 to 9: 00 on legal holidays.
Development course:
In June, 2005, the General Administration of Press and Publication organized relevant departments, industry organizations, experts, educators and parents to jointly study and negotiate, and formulated the Development Standard of Online Game Addiction Prevention System, which aims at the causes of online game addiction among minors and uses technical means to limit the time limit of online games for minors as one of the practical measures to implement "civilized Internet access".
In August 2005, seven major online game operators released.
In March 2006, the system development was basically completed and the trial operation began. After more than half a year's trial operation, many indexes have reached the standard requirements. In order to effectively implement the online game anti-addiction system for minors, the General Administration of Press and Publication also organized relevant parties to formulate a supporting "Real-name Authentication Scheme for Online Game Anti-addiction System".
