Chinese technology company Tencent has announced it will use facial recognition to stop children from playing its online video games late at night.
"Children, put your phones away and go to sleep," Tencent said when it introduced its new technology called Midnight Patrol on July 6.
In 2019, China banned those under 18 from playing online games between 10 pm and 8 am to try to stop video game addiction, which the government said is bad for young people's health. It also limited how much time and money young people can spend playing games.
People in China must use their real names to play online games. But kids often find clever ways to get around such rules — like using their parents' phone or name instead.
Tencent's new technology aims to stop this from happening by requiring users on an adult's account to pass a facial recognition test in order to continue gaming past 10 pm. If the player refuses or fails the test, Tencent will turn off the game.
However, not everyone on Chinese social media agrees with Tencent's decision, according to The New York Times. While some supported the technology, they also questioned how the Chinese government might use people's data. Others thought that Tencent was going too far and should leave such decisions to parents

🌏Summary
2019年，中國禁止未滿18歲的人在晚上10點至隔天上午8點間玩電動，試圖終止電玩成癮，當局說這對年輕人健康有害。騰訊的新科技將阻止這樣的狀況發生，成年人帳號的使用者要通過臉部辨識，才能在晚上10點後繼續玩遊戲。如果玩家拒絕或沒通過測驗，騰訊就會關閉遊戲。不過，根據《紐約時報》報導，有些人支持這項技術，但也有些人覺得騰訊做太超過了，應該將把關權力交由父母。
