Particular attention should be paid to the parental controls available in every mobile OS out there.

- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoEven with parental controls, why should companies be allowed to advertise expensive microtransactions to children? Certain types of advertising aimed at kids are already banned in various countries. Companies are well aware of the power of making kids nag their parents to spend money. But now they have an even worse tool: many kids have almost direct access to their parents' wallets if they borrow their devices.
- marknutter 11y agoBecause parents can just turn parental controls on. I'm sorry, but it's not the state's responsibility to make sure my kids don't nag me for shit.
- ascagnel_ 11y agoMost western nations impose age limits on drinking and the purchase of cigarettes as well as limit advertising targeted at children. If it's addictive and potentially habit-forming, it should be regulated.
