An interesting article (linked via Slashdot). Apparently Apple has been awarded a patent that lets parents filter what their children's phones send and receive.
I'm somewhat for this, in the sense that I do approve of parental controls over their kids phones, especially younger kids. But at what point do we say, hey, you're overstepping your bounds into our privacy, cut it out?
Yeah, it depends on the age of the kid, I reckon.
ReplyDeleteBut, not only does it keep foul shit off your kid's phone, but it also teaches them not to put foul shit into it.
Interesting idea
ReplyDeletethat fuckin sucks. fuck apple srsly. just let kids do whatever, fuck

ReplyDeleteha. way overstepping... i pity the teens who have to deal with this... oh god.
ReplyDeleteMan apple's just nabbing up all the patents they can. Mobile phone lawsuits are a mess.
ReplyDeleteYeah...its gonna not work.
ReplyDeleteI dont think filters are innovative enough to deserve patent protection :/
