China is preparing a face scan against child gambling addicts

China’s system for capturing faces and controlling routine activities in a public space that opposes a large number of privacy defenders in the rest of the world. And children’s addiction to technology. For example, mobile games that are teens able to play long into the night or morning. How do these two worlds relate to each other? Very closely in the plans of the giant game publisher Tencent. This Chinese company is completing a technology to set faces for children by scanning their faces imaginary digital convenience store.

China has been struggling with mobile gambling addictions for a long time. For two years now, teenagers can only play if they upload their “citizen” to a phone or computer. The system will then not allow them to play at night, specifically between 22:00 and 8:00. But clever young gamers use, for example, parental documents and circumvent restrictions. Tencent wants to prevent this by deploying a face scan. He has been working on the system since 2018, now he says will be used for sixty selected titles.
