You’ve got to admire politicians for the quality of their soundbites, even when they’re just kicking up a stink for the sake of getting some publicity. Take Aussie minister Helen Coonan, who wants tougher regulation on mobile content to ensure kids don’t get their hands on porn and other adult material.
The operators here in the UK already have their age-verification system set up, which gets you to prove you’re over 18 before letting you access anything smutty. And that was introduced precisely to stop headline-hungry politicians from wading in, as seems to be happening down under.
That said, I think Helen may have stumbled on a selling point for adult content. Imagine how many people would click on a link on Vodafone Live for ‘pipeline of perversion’…
