Helping prevent some real world dangers of Pokemon Go https://plus.google.com/+LaurenWeinstein/posts/evopQwZsdc6
It occurs to me that one possible means of helping to avoid dangerous Pokemon Go confrontations (e.g., the players shot at by a homeowner at 1AM) and other various associated problems linked to the game, would be restricting hours of operation in particular locales. That is, encouraging players to roam around residential areas and isolated parks in the dead of night would seem to have an outsized probability of triggering bad outcomes. I do realize that some players don't care enough about other people vis-a-vis fantasy phone games to be concerned about that. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone. _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list http://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
