| > It worked in the 1980s In my country TV has always been regulated. Pornographic movies could only be shown at late hours, there was no data gathering nor targeted ads, and nobody could reach children privately thru TV. Not all parents have the means and time to be with their children all the time. There is a bare minimum of children safety that we need to guarantee as a society. Many children grew up watching TV unattended without risk of being sexually harassed or radicalized. And with time children shows became even better and with less ads for toys and so. Regulating TV was great to achieve a better live for everyone. > reeks of the Catholic moms protesting HBO, Different country, different culture. You are applying American logic to non-American concerns. > If you want to enrich and entertain your kids without exposing them to topics you consider unsavory, buy them a book instead of an iPad. It's not rocket science. That way all responsibility is on the parents while big corporations increase the pressure on children to keep consuming their content. I prefer a world where criminal behavior is punished instead of blaming the victims for not avoiding the danger. |
