Late Night Gaming Banned In Vietnam

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the sleep-is-important dept.

R3d M3rcury writes "Vietnam's Ministry of Information and Communication has asked ISPs to block access to on-line games between 10:00PM and 8:00AM. 'The request, made on Wednesday, is another move from the authority to mitigate the side effects of online games. The request follows numerous stiff measures by the ministry to tackle the issue, including cutting internet access to agents at night beginning last September.'"

    I think if you are from the US this is always going to happen. Just a matter of historical accuracy.
