A parliamentarian submitted a request to analyse the phenomena and the speed of its confrontation in an effort to address the effects of the “game of death” that proliferated in Egypt’s schools.
The spread of images and videos of students participating in the deadly “breathtaking” game, also known as the “game of death,” on the “Tech Talk” application in Egyptian schools, has been brought to the attention of the Ministers of Education and Communications, according to Representative Enas Abdel Halim.
In statements to “Al Arabiya. net,” the deputy said that Law No.
Article Seven of Law No. 175 of 2018 pertaining to combatting information technology crimes grants the investigation authorities the power to block specific websites after getting court approval, as well as giving investigation and seizure authorities the power to alert the national apparatus. Organize communications to block the websites in the event of an emergency or impending harm to the commission of a crime, adding that this is what needs to be done right away to combat this deadly game.
She revealed that the “breathtaking” challenge threatens the lives of its users, especially children and adolescents, noting that the game reaches the loss of consciousness and cramps and then the matter develops into death.
She urged a member of the House of Representatives to order the closure of the application that distributes this dangerous game by all state authorities.
In addition, it required the Ministry of Education to address schools to follow up with pupils, step up school supervision, and inform students about the dangers of imitating these behaviours.
The pioneers of social networking sites in Egypt had circulated videos of students inside schools who murked each other for a few minutes until he reached the state of fainting to feel death and then return to life, which raised the concerns of parents.
The Ministry of Education said that it had seen the enrollment of some children in a number of schools connected to different educational departments by having them play a risky game in which they attempt to use an online game, and while playing, they faint, threatening their own lives. With them, start awareness campaigns regarding the harm that some people want to do on the ground with computer games.
