AMETIC urges lawmakers to revise loot-box rules in child-protection bill
AMETIC has submitted amendments to Spain’s proposed child-protection law, asking lawmakers to reconsider restrictions on minors’ access to loot boxes, reportedly. The technology trade association argues that treating loot boxes as gambling and linking them to problematic behaviour lacks evidence. It also proposes limiting the law’s scope to smartphones rather than all internet-connected devices.
The proposed amendments could affect how the bill regulates loot boxes and parental controls on connected devices.
