In recent years, Hotels with "E-sports +" as marketing gimmicks have been favored by young consumers. However, while meeting the market demand, some operators of E-sports hotels illegally accept minors for consumption in order to make profits. This illegal behavior has seriously damaged the physical and mental health and legal rights of minors. In May this year, the Suqian intermediate people's Court of Jiangsu Province publicly tried a case in which an E-sports hotel provided Internet services to minors. [case review] a hotel is engaged in the operation of "E-sports Theme Hotel". 20 rooms are equipped with 2-5 computers to provide Internet services. The hardware and software configuration of the computer is basically the same as that of the Internet bar. As of June 24, 2021, the hotel's accommodation system showed a record of 387 minors. The people's Procuratorate of Suqian City, Jiangsu Province, held that the hotel's behavior infringed upon the legitimate rights and interests of unspecified minors and damaged the social and public interests, so it filed a public interest lawsuit, demanding that it stop providing internet access services to minors and apologize in the state-level media. After hearing the case, the Suqian intermediate people's Court of Jiangsu Province held that whether it is an Internet service business place should not be judged by its external form and the name of the place, but by whether it meets the substantive elements. Judging from the facilities, consumption mode, solicitation means and charging mode provided by a hotel, a hotel has the functions of providing internet access services and accommodation and catering services. In essence, it takes the provision of Internet access services as its main business and main solicitation means. Therefore, it belongs to the business place of Internet access services. On May 12, 2022, the Suqian intermediate people's court announced in court that a hotel would immediately stop providing internet access services to minors and apologize to the state-level media. The judgment has become legally effective. [judge's statement] according to Article 58 of the law on the protection of minors, the operators of commercial song and dance entertainment venues, bars, Internet service business venues and other places unsuitable for minors' activities shall not allow minors to enter. Zhou Hui, vice president of Suqian intermediate people's court in Jiangsu Province, said that judicial adjudication has the function of rule guidance and value guidance to society. This case is the first civil public interest litigation case in which an E-sports hotel provides Internet access services to minors. From the legal perspective, it is hoped that the judgment of this case will promote the formation of a consensus that minors are prohibited from entering Internet service business places, and promote the effective implementation of the principle that is most beneficial to the protection of minors established by the law on the protection of minors; From the social perspective, the development of minors is closely related to the destiny of the nation and the country. The healthy growth of minors is of vital national interest and social public interest. It is hoped that through the judgment of this case, the whole society will be guided to reach a consensus on the protection of minors, form a strong atmosphere of caring and caring for minors, and create a good social environment for the healthy growth of minors.
