Products for children should not be a "hidden corner" to hide dirt.
Electronic products targeting children and young people should try their best to block bad information.However, some consumers found that in the application store of the Little Genius T1 children's tablet, they can search and download many games and advertisements that contain blood, violence and crimes.Many of these games cannot be found in the game approval system of the State Press and Publication Administration.

The reason why parents buy some electronic products under the banner of "children" and "children" is of course because of their learning functions, but in fact, these functions are not irreplaceable; more importantly, they still want to give their children a green, Safe use environment.For example, children's phone watches generally cannot answer calls from strangers; another example, children's computers generally have parental remote monitoring functions... These are all to protect minors from bad information.
The little genius T1 children's tablet mentioned in the news, its product introduction clearly mentioned that "every content is checked before being put on the shelves", and said that the tablet also has a built-in "green shield" protection system, which can detect Bad information in web pages, small programs and local files shows that the green Internet environment is also an important selling point.
This is a very reasonable marketing strategy.After all, the information on the Internet is of all kinds and mixed, and there is no lack of content and software that rubs off on the edge.And minors are not mature enough in their minds and their ability to discriminate is not strong, and they are easily misled.Parents not only want their children to use the convenient functions brought by Internet technology, but also do not want their children to be exposed to bloody and violent content too early, and they do not want their children to be addicted to games. Therefore, children's electronic products create a safe online space for children. become a rigid requirement.
However, it is surprising that even unapproved games can be listed on the App Store. This is what Xiaocai calls a "safety check"?Even consumers can find games and advertisements that contain blood, violence, and crime, but can't businesses find them?Is this still "designed for kids" electronics?
Coincidentally, some media recently reported that some learning apps actually contain pornographic violence, inducement advertisements, and some even “sell dog meat”. You can log in and recharge with your real name...
I thought they were greener and safer children's computers and learning apps, but they are actually "hidden corners" that contain factors such as pornography and violence; I thought they could let children use it with confidence, so they relaxed their vigilance, but they were "take advantage of the empty space" by unscrupulous merchants. enter".How many children's electronic products and learning apps are still in the name of "designed for children", but they can't even perform basic audits?Such products are more confusing and harmful than ordinary computers and software.
The "Minors Protection Law" clearly stipulates that it is prohibited to produce, reproduce, publish, publish, and disseminate books, newspapers, electronic publications, and online information that contain content that promotes obscenity, pornography, violence, etc. that endanger the physical and mental health of minors.The "Regulations on the Administration of Online Publishing Services" clarifies that online publications shall not contain content that induces minors to imitate acts that violate social morality and illegal and criminal acts, nor shall they contain terror, cruelty, etc. that impair the physical and mental health of minors.Therefore, whether it is a small genius children's tablet computer, or a learning app that "sells a sheep's head and sells dog meat", it is suspected of breaking the law.
At present, Xiaocai responded that the problem application will be immediately removed from the shelves, the entire line of products in the application store will be checked, and the review mechanism before the APP is put on the shelves will be strengthened.But what remains to be asked is, how did the application of this type of problem appear in front of consumers?Are the review mechanisms of merchants and platforms useless?Even, is it possible for the merchant to deliberately relax the review and make a profit?For these more fundamental issues, I am afraid that it is not enough to rely on self-examination by enterprises. It is still necessary for relevant departments to intervene in the investigation and give consumers a clear answer.
Saying a thousand things and ten thousand, products for children should not become a "hidden corner" to hide dirt.
