When online abuse or bad behavior occurs, it feels like you’re being attacked everywhere, even in your own home. The impact of these words can last a long time and affect you in many ways. French company Ubisoft wants to take a new step in the fight against this phenomenon.
French publisher Ubisoft has signed an unprecedented agreement with the Northumbria Police, a region in the United Kingdom. Through this agreement, the officers will assist the company in combating toxic behavior in the company's games. This is from the British BBC.
Under the agreement, the police will advise Ubisoft staff to handle player support and complaints about their behavior in principle, but in emergency cases, company employees will be able to quickly pass on information about this incident to the police. Where the company has committed in the agreement to contact the police only when the life or “physical or psychological” health of a person is seriously harmed.
The company did not describe precisely the cases or situations in which you can prepare for the police to intervene directly, and according to the company, the police will be able to intervene in about 0.01% of the cases, since Ubisoft will be responsible for the majority of complaints and problems that will occur within its game environment, and this percentage alone practically means that the police will be called several times a month.
The French publisher wants to make the internet and its gaming environment a safer place with the help of the police, as this agreement allows police from another country to participate in investigations if they occur outside UK borders?
