A Russian taxi driver has turned the back of the passenger seat into a recruitment board for his World of Tanks clan.
Passengers are invited to scan a QR code and join, with the promise of 50,000 in-game gold for both the driver and the new recruit.
World of Tanks is a popular online multiplayer game in which players control armored vehicles and compete in team battles.
Russian lawmakers want to slow down online games the same way they slowed Telegram.
The State Duma’s family and children committee says Roskomnadzor and the Digital Ministry could use their experience with other platforms to limit how long children spend continuously on screens.
Lawmakers say gaming and social media controls are needed to protect kids.
Earlier, Investigative Committee head Alexander Bastrykin claimed online games and in-game chats are an effective tool for recruiting teenagers into sabotage.
