<\/p>\n

\tTencent was reportedly hit with a lawsuit over what a Chinese public interest group claimed was inappropriate content for children on its mobile gaming title Honor of Kings, adding to recent scrutiny of the technology giant by domestic authorities.<\/p>\n

The Beijing Teenagers Law Aid and Research Center issued a post on social media arguing the flagship game included unsuitable content, with characters wearing low-cut clothes and showing a lack of respect for traditional culture.<\/p>\n

Reuters reported the group filed the lawsuit in a Beijing court, arguing Tencent was flouting recently updated child proection laws.<\/p>\n

Tencent is facing fire over the issue after it progressively lowered the age limit for the game from 18-years in 2017 to 12-years today.<\/p>\n

Screen time
\nThe group also claimed an in-game raffle made it likely younger users would play the game longer, putting it at odds with authorities\u2019 attempts to reduce children’s screen time [1].<\/p>\n

The game in question is hugely popular, with Tencent stating in November 2020 it had 100 million daily active users worldwide.<\/p>\n

China\u2019s government is already tightening the screw on technology companies in the country, particularly relating to competition matters.<\/p>\n

In April, Reuters reported Tencent was on the hook for a $1 billion fine for anticompetitive behaviour and not adequately reporting past acquisitions for review.<\/p>\n

Tencent is also facing a lawsuit [2] initiated by TikTok-owner ByteDance, which claims the company violated competition laws relating to user content on its WeChat and QQ messaging apps.<\/p>\n
