This is not a single case in which children have paid a great deal of money to play online games. The Guangdong Consumer Council ( 消费者委员会) has received more than 10,000 similar complaints from local parents in the first three months of this year.

Because of the increasing number of similar cases, the council talked with many online game companies in the province, strongly suggesting that they should introduce useful methods to protect the consumer rights of children.

In fact, many online companies and mobile apps have provided a youth mode ( 模 式 ), announcing that parents can control the content and limit the time their children spend in using the apps.

However, according to a consumer survey report by the Jiangsu Consumer Council, some of the protection modes of companies such as Huya, Douyu, Bilibili and Team Talk are far from useful.

For example, users of all of the above companies can extend watching time by entering a password (密码). Team Talk’s youth mode is no different from the usual mode, which means that children can watch all content. Wang Yihan, 16, from Fuzhou No. 1 High School, shared her experience. She said, “Some apps would only send a notice to check whether the user is 18 years old. The user can simply choose ‘Yes’ and start playing the game. It’s no good.”

According to Guangdong Consumer Council, game companies are being advised to introduce different methods to check who the players are, including fingerprint, password or facial recognition ( 人脸识别) when children pay to play online games.
