Parents Television Council sets sights on Android
After having some success in having Apple remove, well start removing, adult content from the app store the Parents Television Council (PTC) is now setting its sights on the Android app store for its current lack of parental controls. The PTC is also pressuring for mobile web browsers to have similar parental controls as their desktop counter parts. What happened to parents keeping an eye on their kids?
Despite PTC’s singular “think of the children” focus, the group insists it isn’t interested in wholesale censorship, as some of its previous campaigns might lead one to believe. “Our goal is on limiting children’s access to objectionable content” and ensuring parents have the ability to limit this access when deemed necessary, McKiernan told Ars. “We take no stance on the ability of adults to access legal images, movies, or whatever the case may be.”
