A Chinese public-interest group announced that it is suing Tencent over what it alleges is inappropriate content for minors in the top global game developer’s flagship video game, Honor of Kings.
Beijing Teenagers Law Aid And Research Center stated that it filed the lawsuit in a Beijing court on Tuesday, June 1, to mark the implementation of an amended protection of minors law.
The suit also coincides with an unprecedented antitrust crackdown by Beijing on some of China’s biggest tech companies that sources told Reuters includes Tencent.
The company, which declined to comment when contacted by Reuters, has progressively lowered the recommended age limit for the game from 18 in 2017 to 12 this year, the public-interest group stated.
