I don't think they're very intelligent and they probable rely to some extent on self classification by websites but certainly every phone I've had I've needed to follow some procedure to get a content lock removed to allow free internet access.<br /><br />So I find "Mobile operators will therefore offer parents and carers the opportunity to apply a filter to the mobile operator’s Internet access service" interesting as it implies an opt-in service as opposed to the current opt-out service.<br /><br />I don't think it's too much of a leap for governments to supply anything by default in a locked down form. For the sake of the children seems to carry a lot of political weight and governments often seem to assume that restricting everyone is better than no restriction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
