UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown to look at banning violent video games
UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown has promised to take another look at banning violent video games targetted at teenagers. This according to the Mirror.
This is the latest development in the growing concern of UK parents and government officials over the exposure of children to violence via video games and other forms of media.
Last week, UK Conservative Party leader David Cameron released a dossier renewing the call against violent video games and other forms of artistic expression. The British Board of Film Classification has since responded to Cameron’s dossier.
According to the Mirror, Prime Minister Brown said that he would study “whether new rules are needed on advertising and sale of violent games” to teenagers. The plans will reportedly be put to a new Citizens’ Jury this week.
