Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Tencent is "ruthless" and even children are "not letting go," but this is also one of Tencent's points of praise by adult netizens. The reason is also very simple, Tencent in the protection of minors really did as close as possible.

"History of the strictest anti-addiction new rules" I think you have heard,"time limit, limit play, limit charge" is the game industry's basic operation, this has made many underage players complain. Tencent, on the other hand, has introduced more stringent anti-addiction measures than the regulations of the edition.

Tencent took the lead in adopting financial-level Face Recognition technology, strengthening technical identification of suspected underage users through AI machine learning and other means, and made positive progress in the protection of minors.

The latest earnings data show that in the first quarter of this year, Tencent minors 'game time and flow accounted for only 0.4% of the total game time and 0.7% of the total flow in its home market, down 96% and 90% respectively from the same period three years ago.

However, as the anti-addiction regulations for minors become stricter, many black ash products that "help minors bypass the supervision of the anti-addiction system" have emerged one after another. For example,"rent × play,""virtual × rent number" and other rental number platforms, built-in "upper number device" one key to start login game. There are also many game studios relying on e-commerce platform transactions, which rent out by scanning code login and providing account password to attract users at low prices.

In addition, aiming at the "business opportunity" of "minors want to bypass supervision to play games," fraud gangs lure victims to defraud their game login accounts (usually social accounts), passwords and payment passwords for other illegal and criminal activities by publishing advertisements such as "low-price anti-addiction" and "help recharge to buy skin."

Tencent is also actively helping relevant departments to fight crime through technical means for these illegal acts that seriously damage the game ecology and affect the protection of minors. In 2022, Tencent cooperated with the police to destroy illegal rental criminal gangs of game accounts in many places, involving more than 40 people and involving more than one million yuan. In the summer of 2022, Tencent also cooperated with the police to crack 4 gang cases and arrested 11 suspects. The police seized a large number of illegally obtained personal information of citizens and effectively shocked the black industry.

In the promotion of minors protection work, Tencent also realized that blindly using technology to manage hard, to "block," is unable to solve minors network addiction problem, in minors need more guidance and companionship, Tencent also tried through various ways, lead children to jump out of small mobile phone screens, love the world outside the game.

In 2023, Tencent Games upgraded the minor protection system to 4.0 stage, explored more constructive solutions through projects such as "Intelligent Double Hundred," and provided support for urban and rural children in science, education and sports.

Xinhe County Experimental Middle School in Xingtai, Hebei Province, has a "future classroom." Students can come to this classroom three times a week to learn graphic programming, open source hardware, AI visual recognition and other cutting-edge technologies. It is related to games, but not games, this is the field of science and technology; sports field, Tencent funded "future sports field" is also not a few, they are simultaneously equipped with courses, teacher training, sports competitions and other series of software services.

When these programming technologies are integrated with actual entertainment activities, children's understanding of the Internet will not stop at a few inches of mobile phone screen-besides playing games and swiping Short Video, the Internet and information technology can actually do more "same entertainment" things. No longer just going home alone to swipe Short Video or play games to spend time.

By the end of May 2023,36 future classrooms have been built nationwide, covering 14 provinces, municipalities directly under the Central Government and autonomous regions, offering more than 9014 science and technology classes, covering 305,700 junior high school students. 32 future sports fields have also taken root in the whole country, covering 11 provinces, cities and autonomous regions. On the brand-new future sports fields, 42016 sessions have been held accumulatively, with 1,688,600 teachers and students participating in the sports.

If these worlds are brought to children by means of football fields and high-tech classrooms, when they are filled with new forms of entertainment, the original glass screen is actually "not the most interesting","there are more interesting"...

At this moment, melons in the hands of melons are no longer fragrant, envy has spilled over the screen, but more is fortunate and proud, fortunately rural children can also spend a more fulfilling, happy childhood, rather than confined to small mobile phone screens, proud that we have an enterprise that can actively shoulder social responsibility, in the deep water area of minor protection continue to explore and move forward.
