The locks are not from thieves - they are from honest people. Trying to replace the parental duties with the most advanced technology is bound to fail.

The sticky figures indeed are cute. Still don't think that is what they had in mind. ;) Dalien, I think you need to show an ID for renting the pr0n DVS? And yeah, no SLex and gambling in RL. Sometimes I really do pitty Vint's human. :p I just tried the HUD Mr. Thunders has send me in-world and it’s hilarious. The sticky figures indeed are cute.

Indeed it was a very good idea - I did try the thing, figured there was nothing special, and got along. Now imagine the same thing in the company, somewhere in a strange place.. weird things could have happened. Same thing about the SL - why not use it as a means for sexual & online safety education tool, rather than trying to plain hide it from minors. They can go to the nearest DVD rental and get a much higher quality pr0n anyway, if they wish. Oh, wait, I forgot, it was only SL that had SLex and gambling - we don't have that in real life...

I am a SL resident who has a kid on the Teen Grid, she is always showing me her outfits, things she has made, homes she and her friends are building. I think it is a great experience for her, and I check on what she is doing, but am not monitoring keystrokes or anything like that(with voice that is a moot point). She is exposed to more "bad" things in RL than she is in SL, and to be honest she is probably exposed to less of it, because she watches less TV now, because she is on SL. Very nice article Vint.

It has silly stick people. Changing the client won't do much. It could refuse to let you TP to a mature area (or force the client to crash, or make the screen black, etc.) I've looked in the source code; I think that would be fairly easy to do. Maybe turn off voice and filter text chat. It still won't protect children from flying penises in the Welcome Area, naked noobs, or people blowing their own brains out with a shotgun. Move the computer out of the child's bedroom, explore with them, and talk about what you both see. The HUD makes me laugh - I will send you one when I’m in SL next. It has silly stick people.

Although parents most of the time are very good at hearing what they want to hear, and as they want to see danger, you bet they'll find some. Storm, after reading your info on the HUD (I did not find any pictures?): <b>whatever stuff they come up with, must be integrated in the client, else it would not work in non-script enabled regions anyway?</b> Veronique, yes good point.

How is software supposed to know that the neighbors are naked, or that pose ball animation is pornographic? And if your kid is capable ( and unsupervised ) enough to be on the grid, why do you think they can't undo your "protection" anyway?
