English to Dutch: Netizen Report: In China and the Middle East, Pokémon GO is Not All Fun and Games Detailed field: Journalism
Source text - English Global Voices Advocacy's Netizen Report offers an international snapshot of challenges, victories, and emerging trends in Internet rights around the world.
Media outlets have discussed some of the risks of playing the chart-topping augmented reality game Pokémon GO, including reports of players getting into car accidents, falling into the ocean or subjecting themselves to unwarranted police attention. But the game also carries substantial and unique risks in parts of the world where it is not officially available for download.
The game uses Google Maps data to superimpose characters from the Pokémon series into your geographic surroundings. As you walk, your smartphone uses GPS to track your position in the world, and it will know if you get close to one of these characters. You can then capture the character on your phone screen, train it, and then deploy it in the “augmented reality” battlefield that is Pokémon GO.
For example, it is not easy task to catch Pokémon in China. As Global Voices’ Oiwan Lam explained last week, the game is technically unavailable in China’s App Store, which is heavily censored, so Chinese players are climbing the Great Firewall in order to access the game. Some have reportedly spoofed their locations, flooding Japanese servers and taking over the gym at the Yasukuni Shrine, which is devoted in part to memorializing Japan's World War II dead. In response, other religious sites in Japan such as the Izumo Shrine have banned the game.
Translation - Dutch Het Netizen Rapport van Global Voices Advocacy biedt een internationale momentopname van uitdagingen, overwinningen en opkomende trends in internetrechten overal ter wereld.
In de media is een aantal risico's besproken van het spelen van de nieuwste hit, de augmented reality-game Pokémon GO. Het ging onder andere om berichten over spelers die auto-ongelukken kregen, in de oceaan vielen of ongewenste politieaandacht trokken [en]. Maar ook in delen van de wereld waar het spel nog niet kan worden gedownload, brengt het grote en unieke risico's met zich mee.
De game gebruikt gegevens van Google Maps om Pokémons, personages uit de Pokémon-series, te projecteren op je eigen geografische omgeving. Terwijl je loopt, gebruikt je smartphone GPS om te bepalen waar je bent, en weet hij wanneer je dicht bij een Pokémon komt. Je kunt de Pokémon dan vangen op het scherm van je telefoon, hem trainen, en inzetten in het augmented reality-strijdtoneel dat Pokémon GO is.
Het is niet gemakkelijk om een Pokémon te vangen in China. Zoals Oiwan Lam van Global Voices [en] op 27 juli uitlegde, is de game technisch niet beschikbaar in de Chinese App Store. Deze is streng gecensureerd, waardoor spelers de grote firewall van China (China's web censuur) omzeilen om toegang te hebben tot het spel. Sommigen zouden neplocaties hebben gebruikt [en]. Hierbij overspoelden ze Japanse servers en namen ze de gym over bij de Yasukuni-schrijn. Deze is deels gewijd aan het herdenken van de Japanse doden uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog. In reactie hierop hebben andere religieuze monumenten in Japan zoals de Izumo-schrijn [en] de game verbannen.
