India Doesn't Plan To Limit Play Time for Online Game Usage (techcrunch.com) 3
India currently doesn't plan to put restrictions on how much time individuals, including youngsters, spend playing games online, taking a different approach from the neighboring nation China that rocked the local gaming market after enforcing strict new measures last year. From a report: Rajeev Chandrasekhar, India's minister of state for electronics and information technology, told the lower house of the country's parliament in a written response that no such proposal is currently under the consideration of the Indian government. New Delhi is aware of the possible risks and challenges surrounding online games, including addiction, violence and financial loss, Chandrasekhar said, but asserted that country's IT rules already impose obligation on intermediaries to perform due diligence such as ensuring they don't "host, display, publish, transmit or share any information that is harmful to child."

A chance for social scientists to test how much benefit or damage these games do, by comparing the outcome in India against China's restrictive policy. Our thanks to dictator Winnie the Xi and theocrat Modi for this wonder experiment.
