To reinforce youth protection for 'Crack,' Wrtn Technologies plans to cap daily use time for minors at up to 3 hours and make parental verification and consent mandatory if daily use exceeds 3 hours. The daily usage limit was set based on reviews of domestic and overseas cases and expert advice.
It also plans to cap monthly spending by minors at up to KRW 100,000 and require parental verification and consent if monthly spending exceeds KRW 100,000.
In addition, it plans to review, revise and supplement its existing policies as a whole by analyzing the latest usage patterns and applying the findings.
