MSN's Efforts to Protect Children

I was at the "Delivering Mobile Adult Content Responsibly" conference yesterday in London...most of it focused on legal issues. One presentation by Linda Criddle of Microsoft had some interesting points on what MSN plans to do with putting in access control within MSN Mobile tools (and I'm copying the slide presentation below):
-- Move parental controls from desktop client to web service
-- Provide parents options for an activity report
-- Allow multiple parents control right: alerted to content requests, attempted violations, online activity reports, etc; approval of content requests, update settings, add buddies, set time online limits
-- Add parental controls to: calendering, music lyrics, research sites, downloadable content & purchasing, video, photos and blogging
-- Develop filtering technology that allows MSN properties to: protect kids and families from inappropriate content; limit unwanted content according to personal choice; promote personal information interests.
-- Extend our wireline filters to wireless content: single settings across all devices; unified reports covering usage on all devices.
