With families spending more time at home, virtual entertainment and online gaming have risen in popularity among younger internet users. While this pastime offsets boredom during a pandemic, it also brings to the fore the hazards of socialising and playing online.
A report commissioned by Mobily eSports to coincide with Safer Internet Day this week, revealed that 74 per cent of parents in the Mena region are worried about their child’s safety in the virtual gaming sphere, with 67 per cent of parents
calling on the gaming industry to do more to protect their children online. Until that comes into action, however, parents need to be proactive and implement safety strategies of their own.
