Children in China have been banned from donating to streamers and broadcasting themselves

Chinese authorities continue to protect children from the harmful effects of the Internet. Introduced new restrictions on online broadcasting platforms. From now on, children will not be able to conduct live broadcasts and donate to streamers without the permission of adults.

The National Council on Radio and Television has ordered online broadcasting platforms to tighten control over the way young people under the age of eighteen spend time in their services. Also, users who fall under regime for minors, will be able to watch broadcasts only until 22:00 local time - the platforms must interrupt the show of this category of people so that "they have more time to rest."

Donors were also banned:

"Online platforms must strictly adhere to the registration requirement using these names and prohibit minors from sending donations, including cash, gifts and online payments."

Children under sixteen can not be restrained, and senior users will have to ask permission from parents or guardians.

According to the government, this policy is aimed at protecting the physical and mental health of children. It also prevents the development of gambling addiction and protects against unacceptable content.

With the growing popularity of digital entertainment, the Chinese government has taken the gaming industry and the Internet seriously. For example, due to the rampant passion for games in boys, myopia became more common. Therefore, regulators began to impose restrictions. Later there were bans on another plan - local studios issued a list of rules, which should be followed during development. Among them are the inadmissibility of promoting violence, rewriting history and more.
