Virgin Mobile Announces Adult Content Policy

Virgin Mobile today said that it will adopt an 'opt-in' policy around new forms of content on its mobile phones, reports 160characters.org.

"Virgin Mobile, who have over 3.7 million customers, says that it has taken this position in order to ensure that only those customers who have proven that they are over 18 may gain access to age-restricted experiences. Virgin Mobile are still looking at a variety of options for age verification".

Just last week, Vodafone UK introduced it's content control product, designed to prevent minors accessing inappropriate content - based on an age validator. Age registration details are collected at point of sale. cf Vodafone introduces content control.
