Protecting Children Online & on Mobile
Hi The World Telecommunications and Information Society Day will be in a few days - 17th May. The theme is on protection of children in cyberspace.... That led me to wonder how/if we are working to protect children from Mobile Content now that there is alot of adult content sold on mobiles e.g. Wall papers, adult tips on relationships, dating services etc. Children now have access to both web and mobile - with mobiles being harder to monitor. Who out there is working on such issues? Wainaina -- Sent from my mobile device --- http://www.bungesms.com http://www.madeinkenya.org
Hi Wainaina, Thank you for the question. AfrISPA has just concluded an intense session of work with the ITU, European Broadcasting Association, GSMA and others to develop "Child Online Protection: Guidelines for Industry" This document will be launched at the event you have mentioned. Please look out for it.... I think you will find it quite enlightening. Regards, Brian On Wed, May 13, 2009 at 10:10 AM, Wainaina Mungai <wainaina@madeinkenya.org>wrote:

Walu, I like that mode of using the credit card to Censor, does it in any way advance the network neutrality agenda, am just wondering aloud maybe Mwende can provide some guidance, Mblayo, i cant wait to see that document Cheers all..
