Major videogame study coming

Sens. Hillary Clinton (D-NY), Joseph Lieberman (D-CT), and Dick Durbin (D-IL) have persuaded a Senate committee to approve what could be a milestone study by the Centers for Disease Control of the "impact of electronic media use" on children, CNET reports. "It appears to be intended as a way to justify" restrictions such as those imposed in legislation the senators have introduced against sales of violent videogames to minors." CNET adds that "a string of court decisions have been striking down antigaming laws because of a lack of hard evidence that minors are harmed by violence in video games."
