Internet Filter

Avoid having internet? Who are you?


Turn off WiFi and don't click on Safari, Weather, Maps, Youtube, iTunes, Stocks, Mail and the internet will be out of your way!

 

Psst.... I think his child was caught watching porn on his iPhone

 

ACTUALLY, when firmware 2.0 comes out, you will be able to disable Safari in a parental control menu. You can also disable Youtube, iTunes Store, App Store, etc.

It will be out in late June.

 

That would be a good thing to submit to Apple. Tell them to put parental controls on there.

You may see if you can check on your AT&T bill online which sites were visited. That's a key way to snoop on kids with a regular PC (until they learn how to clear history).

 

parental controls will be added at the end of june or sooner. good day sir

 

How about this for parental controls... if your worried about your child looking at porn on a iPhone, maybe you shouldn't be giving them something like a iPhone?

I realize the age kids are getting cellphones is getting lower and lower as time goes by, but really, who in their right mind would buy something so expensive as a iPhone for a kid to have? If they cant be trusted to properly surf the net, how can they be responsible for a phone like that?

porn is the biggest industry in America. and it is not so by accident.

 

I'm not so sure I believe that. There are a lot of big industries out there, like the medical industry.

 

Oops, I thought you wanted to restrict internet for yourself! Didn't make the kids connection (my common sense faulters every now in then).

As everyone else mentioned in June you will be able to use parental controls, it'll come as a free software update on all iPhones.

 

Who are you to say what a parent can get their child? I'm sure many-a-teenager would love iPhones to replace their iPods.

BTW, general trust and responsibility have nothing to do with looking at porn, especially for underage viewers.

To answer the original poster, Steve announced the iPhone 2.0 firmware will include parental controls, however the leaked screenshots show no way of filtering websites--- only on/off switches for Safari and some other features.

 

He's right. If you look at the Alexa rank for websites in the top 500 or 1000, many of them are porn. Porn makes up a vast majority of the internet.

 

Isn't it past your bedtime? LOL No I'm serious!

 

Parental Controls are too general...now if Websense or something was allowed to make a plug-in for Safari, then at least the child could still use the internet whilst being restricted.
