Squid Game, Moige denounces Netflix series to Agcom: “Does damage to minors”

” The TV series has been denounced to Agcom for the appropriate measures: whoever offers entertainment with violent and extreme contents is responsible for damages to minors ”. Bullying and violence a go-go among children, especially in elementary school, arrive in these hours at the “Dillo al Moige” counter on the series “Squid Game” broadcast on Netflix, classified +14 but actually seen by under 14. The serious episodes following the viewing of the TV series, says the Italian Parents Movement, confirm that it is not enough to report a product as inappropriate for children to save them from risks, but that it is very urgent to use all the tools, technological and educational to prevent viewing at least by under 14, “even if a classification +16 would be more appropriate – declares Elisabetta Scala, vice president of Moige – which unfortunately does not exist today”. We ask Netflix – specifies through a note the Moige – as anyone who offers potentially harmful content for minors, with a high risk of emulation and danger to physical and mental health, to take every possible action to limit the access of minors. to these contents, and to ensure that parents and reference adults are facilitated in their control and protection action. We propose to Netflix to urgently provide for the immediate inclusion at the beginning of the episodes of “Squid Game” of introductions / guides that cannot be skipped on the violent contents of the series and on the use of parental control, a technology still little known by families, which allows filter access by age. “We have already reported the ‘Squid Game’ case to Agcom to take appropriate action against the platform”, concluded Elisabetta Scala of the Moige Media Observatory.
