It's a huge public safety and privacy concern, the app has access to your video feed, location data, all that and it specifically says in the legal agreement for the app that they can sell this to anyone at any time or give it to anyone whom they choose

I guarantee it's going straight to the government or something, that's the only reason why it hasn't been shut down

"might as well ban cellphones for being too distracting too huh. and cars because there's too many accidents."

I respect you but that sounds kind of dumb tbh

Cars are more or less a necessity in transportation these days, and it's actually illegal to text and drive

The problem with Pokemon GO is that people are obsessed with the damn app

Sure there's a disclaimer that says "be aware of your surroundings" but the game literally demands that you be looking at your phone while walking all over the place

Like I've said before and will keep saying- there may not be bridges to fall off of and cars to run you over in pokemon, but there is in real life

No, dont.

Make a petition to end slavery!

To end poverty!

To stop people killing police officers!

To stop racial bias!

There is so much better things to petition for. People have died, and that's their fault. The following above is none of the victims fault, and needs to be stopped!

well if someone's too dumb to glance up from their phone every so often or just place it in a corner of their vision they probably would have died for an equally stupid reason eventually anyway

Half of those things are enormous societal issues that are not only hard to contain but require a change of heart within humanity as a whole, and the other half are dealt with accordingly by law enforcement

A simple petition won't get rid of any of those

With this pokemon go bullcrap or any other app all you have to do is pull it off the play store

That simple

It's actually pretty easy to get engrossed in an app or videogame. I don't think that necessarily makes people dumb. A bit irresponsible? Maybe so. Seems rather foolish to me to encourage something that is causing a lot of issues though

However there's not only irresponsibility in the hands of the players going on, criminals are taking advantage of the game too by setting up those "lure" things or camping out at the pokemon shops and robbing people

That's not the player's fault

wouldn't it be better to try and tweak things to fix problems rather than giving up and shutting down everything though. like adding distinct sound cues so you don't have to look at your phone to know what's going on

ehhh ?? people really are scum

That's not the point. I understand that, however we should not focus on some ignorant kids not being aware of their surroundings, but rather people who cannot change their situation.

Social injustice will always exist but attempting to correct as much as possible is still a huge priority

If you think that rallying for a company to either remove or edit their game (good idea btw litemare) will completely halt that though, you are very sadly mistaken

Just because the children overseas are starving, although very tragic doesn't mean that other problems don't exist anywhere else

It won't change anything. They're making too much money to change anything. The accidents that happen are from the ignorance and stupidity of the players who do not heed to the warnings and common sense that should be used while playing this game. I mean is it worth standing in the middle of a street to catch a rare pokemon? No, but people will do it anyways. And that's the problem. There are people who will drive and play this game, people who will intrude private property, people who will walk into busy streets, people who will walk around late at night.

Any organizations involved with the making of this are not responsible at all. You'll see stuff like this game all the time and it's really never going to be the fault of the creators. This game is viral for a reason, it's addicting. EVERYONE plays this game because it brings something new to the plate. But really now, take caution when playing this game. It's not worth losing your life over.

The problem with cars is that people are obsessed with them look at scienceexpert for example

Sure there's a disclaimer that says "look where you're driving" but the road literally demands that you be looking at it while riding all over the place

Like I've said before and will keep saying- there may not be bridges to drive off of and cars to crash with in pokemon, but there is in real life, which is why pokemon go is better than cars

i havent read the posts on this thread

but

just because there are casualities from a game does not necessarily mean the game is bad

it's the people who are stupid enough not to listen to the disclaimer that's displayed when you start it up

so don't try and change stuff while the change has to happen to the people themselves

Anything which gets more people out there and in the world is inevitably going to cause some level of trouble. Humans interracting causes bad things, and Pokemon go is great at facilitating human interraction.

I think that, despite people getting hurt and all that, Pokemon Go has had and will continue to have a net positive effect on(especially western) society.

lmao @vitya

"It won't change anything. They're making too much money to change anything."

Actually not true at all, if a product is jeapordizing the safety of the user then they can be taken to court for it and get in a lot of trouble. Trust me, they would rather fix something and avoid tons of legal problems and negative spotlight, than they would rake in some dough. Public image is key to success

"The accidents that happen are from the ignorance and stupidity of the players who do not heed to the warnings and common sense that should be used while playing this game.

There are people who will drive and play this game, people who will intrude private property, people who will walk into busy streets, people who will walk around late at night."

Already covered all of this

"Any organizations involved with the making of this are not responsible at all."

Nobody ever said that, but organizations like Change are a good platform for voicing opinions and pushing for said change

"You'll see stuff like this game all the time and it's really never going to be the fault of the creators. This game is viral for a reason, it's addicting. EVERYONE plays this game because it brings something new to the plate. But really now, take caution when playing this game. It's not worth losing your life over."

See above. Anyway, Snapchat recently got in some hot water for making a filter or some crap that could be used as a spedometer and some girl either got put in the hospital or killed because she was using it when driving and her parents sued Snapchat. Also if you're implying that just because a game is viral that it justifies any of this, that's pretty messed up

See, that's where you're wrong. The game is not putting the player in danger, the player is putting themselves in danger. If this game really was determined to be the problem, it would have been gone a longggg time ago buddy. Like I said before, it's all common sense. Go to a park. Go take a walk in the neighborhood. Go somewhere you wont be in danger. But of course, people won't use their brains. We have them for a reason.

THINK.

This whole thing reminds me of gun laws. The guns themselves don't kill people. The people who own the gun kill people. You see the correlation? It's the fault of the people. We're responsible for our own well being, our actions. Sure, I do feel bad that people are unfortunate enough to die playing this game. But come on now, SO many deaths could be prevented by common sense. There's even been places being shut down to help prevent deaths. And you know what? It's not changing anything.

What do you expect walking in busy roads? You're playing chicken while playing this game. Chances are, you're going to be hit by a car. And the person driving the car isn't at fault if you walk in front of them unless you're actually in a crosswalk (which you probably aren't if you have no idea where you're going), the game didn't make you walk in front of this car. The simple answer is the ignorance.

When you're driving, which is already dangerous enough with so many hazardous possibilities, who would think it would be a good idea to whip out their phone, start up this game, and try and catch a pokemon while they're at it? Welp, I'll let you in on a secret. Someone out there will do this. And who's fault is it if they get in an accident? It's their fault.

The point I'm trying to make is that this game has nothing to do with it. Literally ANYTHING can cause a person to die when they're not paying attention to their surroundings. Like I said, it's unfortunate people die playing a Pokemon game. But it's their own fault nearly 100% of the time
