I once wrote a diary with the content of "A Study on "Revision of Child Pornography Law"".
I argued a theory that seemingly contradictory: (1) "I agree" with the establishment of the law, and (2) "Rage" with one phrase of the law. (If you read it, you will understand that there is no contradiction)

By the way, it seems that the online game addiction measures ordinance in Kagawa Prefecture is controversial.
Well, as usual, I read the article suddenly without seeing any net news or SNS.
I have broken down the problematic numerical target, Article 18, paragraph 2, into the following 6.
(1) In the case of the preceding paragraph, the guardian must ensure that the child has sufficient sleep and that he / she has a regular lifestyle.
(2) When using computer games that lead to children's addiction to online games,
(3) The maximum usage time per day is 60 minutes (or 90 minutes if the school is closed).
(4) In addition, when using smartphones, etc., for children before completing compulsory education, it should be until 9 pm
(5) For other children, the standard is to stop using it by 10 pm
(6) Parents must endeavor to comply with the rules in the preceding paragraph.

I see, I understand that this article aims to become a basis article for rules at school and at home by including "numerical values."
It is true that the law and the Supreme Court decision (the largest court) have such a function.
I think that about the problem of game addiction, there is nothing wrong with the approach of solving the problem from the administration and legislation, focusing on the game time.
However, since I have never played video games and net games for more than 90 minutes in my life, I cannot discuss that the reason for "60 minutes" or "90 minutes".
So, regarding this matter, I would like to discuss it in a "common comparison theory" with a cowardly approach.

For example, what would happen if the age restrictions in this regulation were removed and "net game addiction" was replaced with "sex addiction"?
(3) 'Up to 60 minutes of sex per day (90 minutes on national holidays)
Or what happens if we remove the age restriction under this ordinance and replace "Internet game addiction" with "alcohol addiction" "pachinko addiction" "number of cigarettes smoked"?
(3) 'The maximum amount of time to enjoy alcohol or pachinko per day is 60 minutes (or 90 minutes on national holidays).
(3) 'The maximum number of cigarettes per day is six (9 on national holidays)

I know well that this is a sloppy replacement.
This is neither a constructive comment nor a suggestion on this Ordinance.
However, what I can understand by this "replacement" is "Children's feelings"
Shut up! This idiot! It's none of your business!!
