European Parliament takes further action against "harmful" games

European Parliament takes further action against harmful games

Granted that's a rather vague headline, but there really isn't any further details for what the European Parliament plans to do. 

On the official website is a list of what Europe's governing power has planned for this week, starting with today, February 9, and going all the way through to Sunday, February 15.  Among notices like "Recovery plan" and "Genital mutilation," we see one titled "Video game safety," and the rest goes something like this:

Video game safety:  The Internal Market Committee will set out a series of recommendations to improve the protection of children from potentially harmful video games on Wednesday.

Amidst foreign affairs and women's rights lies an insidious threat -- video games.  They must be stopped!
