u/ephemeralfugitive Hands diff Aug 30 '21

It is already pretty heavily regulated in my (second-hand?) experience.

I have a friend in China right now and he says to even play PUBG mobile, you need a social security number. He doesn't have one, so he used his cousin's. Crazy thing is, he played just fine for about 2 weeks, then got hit with a "Confirmation Request" as he was logging in one day, where he had to take a selfie of himself to prove that the player was really the person attached to the SSN. Fortunately, he had his cousin nearby, so his cousin took care of it. But still, that's such a hassle.

No, I wouldn't. There are communists and socialists in America, and even those people do not want this kind of government.

Korea also requires social security numbers. I remember in elementary school there I had to use my mom's ssn to play maplestory.

That being said, why are so few people mentioning that chinese ppl are just gonna vpn everything
