"My brother was still in the third grade, so he pushed me the Taobao rental number link of' Jedi Survival' on WeChat and asked me to help pay." On the eve of the Spring Festival, Guo Taiming told Du Nan that recently, game renters on social platforms are very active, promoting rental services in different communities or posts. In recent years, the state has continuously strengthened the network protection of minors, strictly controlled the online game time of minors, and constantly improved the supervision of game platforms. However, the illegal act of renting numbers to minors "seizes every opportunity" and repeatedly breaks through the "firewall".
In the first half of this year, Dunant Data Research Institute found that a large number of traffickers collected numbers on social platforms and accumulated game account resources; Tenants conduct marketing transactions on platforms such as Taobao and Xiaohongshu, and minors can directly place orders to rent adult accounts. Many rental posts also provide a full set of "extraordinary face" services to help minors bypass the restrictions of the game anti-addiction system.
Rent permeates all platforms.
"counting adults" has become a marketing selling point.
At the end of 2002 1 August, the State Press and Publication Administration issued a new regulation: online game enterprises can only provide 1 hour service to minors from 20: 00 to 21every day on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and legal holidays, and may not provide online game services to minors in any other way. This also allows game renters to discover business opportunities. "No need for real-name authentication" and "login and play" have become the selling points of game account rental, and "ownerless adulthood" has also become a marketing keyword.
According to a poll conducted by Dunant Data Research Institute this year, more than half of the respondents have seen or bought game rental services on e-commerce platforms such as Xianyou and Taobao. Some channels, such as short videos, social platforms, rental websites and game websites, also have different amounts of game rental information. In addition, nearly half of the respondents think that minors have poor self-control, and renting games can easily make them addicted to games and affect their physical and mental health. More than 20% of the respondents believe that the rental number destroys the anti-addiction system of the game platform and cannot effectively supervise the behavior of minors.
No authentication is required.
Minors can click on the taxi number directly.
However, can't minors really buy numbers?
The poll results of the Data Research Institute of Dunant University also showed that nearly two-thirds of the respondents reported that although the merchants would ask and prompt that minors were prohibited from renting numbers, they did not check their identities; Nearly one-third of the respondents reported that merchants would directly rent game accounts that passed face recognition.
Lawyer Quan, a partner of Shanghai Law Firm, believes that these renters did not verify the identity of minors in the process of renting accounts, and even deliberately destroyed the real-name authentication procedure of games, established a large number of illegal game accounts, and then sold them through the Internet to obtain illegal benefits or maliciously steal other people's game accounts for rental and sale, which may be suspected of illegal business operations.
"extraordinary face" service post
A large number of social platforms exist.
In recent years, some game companies have optimized the real-name authentication model 3360 in order to strengthen the network protection for minors. In addition to verifying ID card information, players also need face recognition to enter the game, and face recognition pop-ups will pop up from time to time. However, the game rental market has also spawned related businesses.
According to the poll data initiated by Dunant Data Research Institute, nearly 70% of the respondents think that some game platform systems have not been certified for many times, resulting in minors renting numbers to play games without being discovered. About half of the respondents think that some game platforms lack inspection and fail to identify players according to their behavioral characteristics, such as identifying players according to their voice characteristics and chat content. Another 20% of the respondents believe that some game platforms have not set up a reasonable reporting mechanism.
The black market of personal information has become a hidden danger.
It is understood that in the gray production of game account rental,
Lawyer Teng Zhangli analyzed, "The rental number violates the game user agreement and is illegal in itself. If the rental number is realized by illegally obtaining a large amount of personal information of others, it may also be suspected of constituting a criminal offence of infringing citizens' personal information. "
Last year, Nanjing Jianye police cracked an illegal game rental case, involving more than 6.5438 million yuan. The gang involved set up a company and sold the rental number on the e-commerce platform. One is to buy a large number of citizens' personal information through illegal channels, collect game accounts through informal channels, bind the accounts with the purchased personal information, make dynamic avatars with supporting mobile phones and software for dynamic face verification, and then rent the controlled adult real-name authentication game accounts. The police found that tens of thousands of personal information of citizens were stored in the computer of the gang leader.
Platform investigation
The game rental number is rich in information, and 40 yuan, a minor of Xiaohongshu, can rent it and play with the "original god"
Have you tried your best to rectify the platform?
Renting "Amway Post" is rampant.
In addition to renting and selling numbers, there are also some posts on Xiaohongshu that play games on behalf of others. For example, a post titled "Officials Beat the Liver with Their Hands" clearly marked, claiming to "help raise the number as their own number". You can make money while playing games without real-name authentication.
The unsecured rental platform for minors was drained by Xiaohongshu.
* * * Enjoy a "public * *" ID number.
In addition, some users posted that they encountered a scam of renting and selling numbers in Xiaohongshu. For example, someone saw a post in the name of "Chu Hao" on the little red book, and the other party disappeared after the private letter was paid. According to the southern poll data, more than half of the respondents believe that minors will be cheated by renting accounts or money in the process of renting numbers. Minors' ability to distinguish is weak, their mental development is immature, and it is difficult to identify the game rental scam, which will inevitably cause losses.
Expert opinions/suggestions
Multi-party joint management
In view of the chaos of game rental numbers, the poll results of data research institute of Dunant University show that most respondents believe that government departments, game companies, rental platforms, schools and families are the main bodies to protect minors from the infringement of game rental numbers. So how to prevent it?
Lawyer Quan, a partner of Shanghai Law Firm, believes that game companies should constantly improve relevant technologies and strictly implement the requirements for real-name registration and login of underage users' accounts. For registered users who violate relevant laws, regulations and service agreements, users should take warning and restrictive measures according to law.
Function, account closure and other disposal measures, keep records and report to the relevant competent departments. For the rental number platform, Quan Mingkai suggested that the corresponding rules of the platform should be formulated first, and the merchants who can purchase accounts without real-name authentication should be provided with processing methods such as titles, blocked links, off-shelf goods, and seizure of money. Secondly, users should be encouraged to actively report such businesses. In addition, he also believes that the network service platform should strengthen management and handle complaints or reports without verifying the identity of the rentable number merchants.
Fang Zengquan, secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Journalism and Communication of Beijing Normal University and director of the Network Literacy Research Center for Minors, suggested that all sectors of society should form a joint force to strengthen the guidance of healthy games for minors. First of all, government departments should further strengthen supervision, fill the obvious regulatory loopholes in industries such as "rental number" and increase penalties for illegal network operators. For example, limit the registration of minors in such rental platforms, refine data use and transaction regulations, and provide more convenient channels for rights protection. Secondly, the game company should explicitly prohibit renting and selling numbers in the user use agreement; Strengthen the real-name registration system and artificial intelligence to prevent personal information from being illegally used. He believes that the minor's renting number is mainly due to his weak legal awareness and his own lack of network literacy. In this regard, it is necessary to combine unblocking and blocking, listen to their voices more, accurately locate the classification and grading industry system of juvenile game products, establish game content systems of different ages, and strengthen the social value function of games.
