Banning PUBG and arresting people is an ineffective solution to the core problem

Firstpost  

Update: The PUBG Mobile India team has issued a statement on the ban. To PUBG MOBILE players, we want to assure you that we are on your side and we will try our best to find a reasonable solution.” It isn’t often that video games are in the news for law and order problems, but this on the rise in India, such as with the Blue Whale Challenge, the Momo Challenge and Pokemon Go. Media reports of violence leading to the ban Media reports on the effect of PUBG Mobile have included an 11-year-old complaining of increased cyberbullying due to the game, a child who stole Rs 50,000/- from his father for the game, a child who committed suicide because he couldn’t play the game and a person who attacked a relative for not handing the charger to his phone for the game. A Circular from the Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights, and a follow-up Circular from the Directorate of Education in Delhi, dated February 2019, in fact, addressed all schools on the need to sensitize parents and children on the adverse effects of playing violent video games, including PUBG and others. However, this would be an immediate and effective solution to the problem at hand, and less invasive than the arrest of persons playing the game.
