Protect Minors from Inappropriate Mobile Content and Services
Today’s youths use texting, instant messaging,
Multimedia Message Service (MMS), mobile Web, and e-mail to keep in touch with
their friends and family. Social network sites have become their virtual meeting
places. But the mobile phone can also give them access to potentially inappropriate
content or can even be a gateway into a world that preys upon children. The
Mobile Child Safety application helps operators to protect minors, with parental
control services such as:
- Mobile content blocking
- Mobile call blocking
- Mobile text messaging and instant messaging restriction
