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 admitted that the “breathtaking” challenge endangers the lives of its players, particularly kids and teenagers, pointing out that the game progresses to unconsciousness and cramping before the issue becomes fatal.
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.
Parents expressed alarm after watching films showing children murmuring to one another at schools for a short while until they fainted, felt death, and then came back to life. These movies were distributed through Egypt’s forerunners of social networking sites.
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.
