Colin Gibb's RCR Wireless News article regarding adult mobile content market and video chat services becoming readily available prompts us to take a page from the history books. More often than not, advances in the mobile Internet seem to follow the progression we saw back in the mid-90's with regular online services.
Take, for example, AOL's chat rooms. Late nights in 1996 saw many adults dialing up their modems to have adult-themed explicit chats with other subscribers. Chatting often times then lead to photo sharing. Not long later there were reports of children logging onto these services.
Mobile settings for these types of services are no different. As more children and teens are getting their own cell phones with access to the mobile Web, an increasing number of reports are emerging about children and teens getting exposed to mobile explicit content. Suffice to say it won't be long before children viewing mobile adult video chat becomes a topic of discussion.
This is just another example of why it's more important than ever that parents be aware of what their kids are doing with their mobile phones. What can be viewed as a fun, convenient method of communication also holds the potential to be a predator in a child's pocket.
