New iPhone Provides Easy Access to Porn

 

Some of the nation's most offensive pornographers are preparing for the launch of the newer, faster and cheaper iPhone from Apple. That's because it is expected to make pornography more accessible and more attractive.

Penthouse and Vivid Entertainment, among others, are sinking millions into iPhone-specific technology. The phone will contain parental controls, but Daniel Weiss, senior analyst for media and sexuality at Focus on the Family Action, said that's no guarantee.

“Any parent that would rely solely on the tool to do their job has already failed," he said. "There will always be pornographic threats to children, but parents ought to be actively preparing their children to handle these situations.

"Parents also don't need to succumb to teenage pressure to buy the latest 'in' thing."
