If you need to limit users from using games on a workstation, something |
| 11 |
is wrong somewhere else. As for parental control -- it makes no sense. |
| 12 |
They can install games locally for their own user, and they can still |
| 13 |
look at whatever you don't want them to look at using the WWW; and they |
| 14 |
can also watch films you do not want them to watch, listen to music you |
| 15 |
object to, or read books you disagree with. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Restricting access to games, or indeed films, music, books or other |
| 18 |
things, is not a problem I think we should be concerned about. It's |
| 19 |
much too difficult to get right, and in my opinion completely |
| 20 |
pointless and stupid. If you want to censor your children's access to |
| 21 |
creative outlets -- do it yourself on your own computer, instead of |
| 22 |
tasking us with the job. We are not nannies. |
