How Much Control Should Parents Have?

April 25, 2012 1:30 pm - 2:00 pm - Ballroom B
Track: Track 3 - Safety

Should parents be able to limit their child’s play time? Change chat settings? Control spending? De-activate or delete their child’s account? These questions and more will be explored in a live demonstration of the most commonly-offered parental controls across a gamut of online services for kids, including game sites, virtual worlds/MMOs, social networks, e-mail and other web-related services. Also, find out which parental controls are useful versus useless, and which ones are legally required versus industry best practices. This session produced by the kidSAFE® Seal Program
