Why do children need to be "protected" from nudity? What's so special about nudity?
The reason people try to control children's access to tech and social media isn't because they might see a nipple (lol) but because it's addictive and prevents them from doing anything else.
If we realy want to "protect the chidren" we should start by dismantling FAANGs.
- baobob 4y agoThis is precisely what I meant by pointless: outside of 20somethings and certain locales (particularly large cities), alternate lifestyles exist where parents simply may not want this for their children. I'd suggest arguments for or against any particular culture or lifestyle, or attempting to deny they exist, exceed the scope of discussing the feature itself.
- true_religion 4y agoThey don’t need to be protected from nudity in and of itself. However if they are talking to an adult or a stranger randomly messages them, it would be nice if the device blurs pornographic imagery. If they are looking for porn themselves (e.g. are of the age to care for such things), they can download it themselves via Safari. But generally speaking there’s no need to trade this stuff on iMessage.
