"Pokemon Unite, Tencent and the Chinese Community's Party"

Pokemon Unite, a League of Legends type game that will be the first Pokemon game to break into the Chinese market and will likely be very successful in China, the issue lies in the company Pokemon is partnering with for this and the Government Tencent has to follow. Tencent is a massive Chinese tech company that creates large social media platforms such as WeChat and Tencent QQ. It also has purchased several large gaming companies such as Riot to port games such as League of Legends to China. Not everything is all nice and happy with this company though. There are plenty of articles and reports online about censorship of Tencent-owned products. Most of the censorship includes insults towards the Chinese government, support of Hong Kong freedom and the Xinjang Concentration Camps. Its safe to say that if Pokemon Unite has an in-game text chat, those subjects may or may not get you banned, or worse. China is a Communist nation. Communism, if you don't know, is an economic system in which the Government owns the means of production in its nation. The Chinese Government technically owns Tencent and all other Chinese companies. Meaning technically, if you have a history of speaking out against the Chinese Government Online and China is able to trace your Nintendo Account and the social media in which you speak out against China to your Email, they could have full control of your Email. And the worst part is this could happen to anyone who plays Pokemon Unite, because China could ask Tencent for player data on any player who speaks against China. My point with this rant is that Pokemon Unite may be dangerous to your Internet security, I hope what I outlined China may do may never happen but looking at censorship reports online, I fear that it will happenTl:dr - Playing Pokemon Unite means the Chinese Government may potentially have access to your Email via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/2PcQrxR
