The President of Brazil criticized computer games for excessive violence in them

During a meeting dedicated to school safety, the President of Brazil, Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, shared his views on video games. He expressed doubts that parents giving their children tablets to distract them from crying are making the right decision.

According to Lula da Silva, video games lack elements of love and education, and children learn how to kill. The number of deaths in games exceeds the number of victims of World War II. The President urged parents to pay attention to the games their children play. He also noted that children spend a lot of time playing games and often play with people from other countries, which can lead to violence.

Lula da Silva then mentioned the tragic incident that occurred in Brazil when a man with an axe attacked a nursery and killed four children. Although the police ruled out any connection to online games, one of the deputies asked for a temporary ban on violent games in the country.

In the past, Brazil has already imposed restrictions on the sale of violent games such as CS: Source, but the government later lifted the ban.
