Posted by: Sierra in News
Would you feel disturbed if you’d receive SMS messages with links to adult-related web pages or while you’re surfing the web on your cell phone to land accidentally on websites with porn content? I surely wouldn’t feel bad because I can simply close that web page and search again, but not I am the problem, children are, and this creates an episode of the latest cell phone facts. Back in February this year, the leading provider of mobile subscriber protection for enterprises and individuals, AdaptiveMobile, published a press release with new cell phone facts including news and warnings about the rapid increase of mobile pornography, the multibillion dollar industry that is moving to the mobile world, with the global market predicted to reach $3.5 billion by 2010.
It seems that children will soon have unrestricted access to pornographic content from the cell phones and AdaptiveMobile issued guidelines to parents regarding those website that don’t require age verification before viewing this type of material, and the content providers who use porn-related images for their marketing campaigns.

In addition, YouTube is expanding its content to over 100 million cell phones and it includes adult materials which can be misinterpreted by children and teenagers.
AdaptiveMobile’s software is destined to parents and features proactive protection from mobile viruses, malware, inappropriate content, unsolicited communications and spam at a corporate and consumer level. Parents who are up to date with the latest cell phone facts can use it and block applications, phone numbers and websites, and allow certain technologies in a limited capacity.

“Children and teenagers are the fastest adopters of mobile technology, so the trend toward mobile pornography is of special concern to those of us interested in their safety,” declared Lorcan Burke, CEO of AdaptiveMobile. “We want parents to know the real risks that exist and also to encourage them to work closely with their children and mobile service provider for a safe mobile experience.”
