Venezuela’s National Assembly this week passed a bill to ban the sale of violent video games and toys, as the country struggles to fight rampant crime, Reuters reports.
The piece notes that “dozens of people are murdered every week” in Caracas, “one of Latin America’s most dangerous cities,” and that some of the killings occur for “as little as a pair of shoes or a mobile phone.”
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
