Kids Only Internet?
from the sponsored-by-Disney? dept
A Congressional panel is taking a look at whether or not a kid safe portion of the internet should be created at .kids.us. The idea is that kid safe sites could be put up at someaddress.kids.us which would prevent the need for "filters" to block out access to non-kid safe sites for kids whose parents felt they needed to block out most of the world. It's an interesting idea, and it certainly beats requiring filters, but I'm not sure how many people would actually use such a thing. There is a chicken and egg problem in getting enough content providers to switch to the new domain if there's no evidence that people are using it.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
