Your kid's Kindle could be X-rated, child protection charity warns

[Kasper Hviid]

Some time after this thread started, I posted a link to a infamous pornographic comic from the seventies. This was evidently 'adult content' and thus, my post got deleted. Note that I didn't post the link to provoke the mods - I just felt like sharing it, and didn't knew the rules.

It's hardly breaking news that a user (me) post something against the sites policy and that this, in return, causes a moderator to delete it. But there is some interesting meta-whatever going on:

I read this thread about whether a Kindle should be family-friendly - and I find that this is a really interesting subject - but the very platform I'm reading it on is family-friendly itself. I just didn't notice.

It's unfortunate that it goes so far that owning a reading device should require parents to discuss with their children the risks of making sex tapes. Or should online book sellers be required to include warnings on adult literature? What do you think?

what rubbish.the papers and teen magazines are full of this stuff daily.

AND THE PLAYGROUNDS.

in fact they glamorize it.so why pick on ereaders?

same excuse used to suppress free speech and liberties.
