A group of 23 operators have agreed to improve safety for kids along their networks. Besides shielding kids from all forms of possible abuse by other clients, operators will also shield children from adult themes content like adult mobile games. Amongst the group are Vodafone, Orange and TIM. We have seen a similar move where adult games got tugged away behind a pin code that clients need to request. Personally, I always think it should be not more difficult then using information an operator already has. Here in Holland for example, only an adult can buy a subscription. Also, most pre-paid mobile phones are personally registered, which means age of the owner is known. It all sounds so easy… and how to avoid viral distribution of such content via BlueTooth?
