The Netherlands authorities filed a lawsuit against Niantic Labs, the developer of the popular Pokemon Go game, accusing them of involvement in mass penetrations of players who are caught by the monsters in protected beach zones.
The lawsuit states that daily thousands of players are besieged by Kijkduin beaches, where rare and valuable poems most often appear. But this zone in the Dune Park is protected by the state and is a reserve. Therefore, the country's authorities are concerned that Pokemon catchers can cause irreparable harm to the environment, writes the British The Guardian .
From the developers of the game, they demand to remove Pokemon from the beaches at night. In addition, the appearance of "these little virtual animals" want to ban on the streets from 23:00 to 7:00.
Earlier, the authorities were already trying to contact the Niantic Labs developer company, but since they did not receive an answer, they considered that the only option remained for them. The hearings are scheduled in the Hague on October 11.
Earlier, Pokemon Company, which licenses the franchise, said that Niantic was notified of the need to remove Pokemon from some zones and exclude certain objects from the number of Pokstep, in particular from the Holocaust Museum and the Memorial to the victims of Hiroshima, from the territory of the former concentration camp of the Auschwonzi-Birkenu, from the zone Japanese NPP Fukushima-1, etc.
