Another story about Mobile porn eh? Crumbs…..
Adaptive Mobile have issued a warning to parents that their children may have unrestricted to pornographic images and video, on their Mobile devices. The concern lies in the fact that there is no age-limit verification on some sites, plus the pervasive nature of mobile push advertising, sometimes containing adult images.
Adapative Mobile is apparently working with Operators, and using it’s technologies to interject in the supply of content, and block things like URLs, phone numbers, and images.It is encouraging parents to get involved and work with mobile service providers to help manage their childrens mobile online experiences.
So let’s get it out there with the readership – do you think it’s right for parents to ‘get involved’ (and please take that comment in the context that it’s meant!), or is this plan doomed to fail? Whilst on the topic, is it right for service providers to be affecting the content we are receiving, without the end-user say-so? Should the end-user have a say? This one’s a potential minefield, so thoughts very welcome…….
