Governor Cuomo has issued an executive order restricting registered sex offenders in New York from playing Pokeman GO and similar games.
Cuomo has ordered the State Department of Corrections restrict offenders from playing the game, and has sent a letter to the game’s developer requesting them to figure out a way to block sexual predators from using the game to attract children.
Cuomo says augmented reality games can’t become a new avenue for predators. His directive applies to about 3,000 registered sex offenders across New York
