Better newspapers (
http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/techno...cle3636952.ece) have come up with a better article. It will be opt-in for parents. Not automatic. I think that's a good thing all in all.

I agree with that. I don't advocate giving children access to lots of violence or porn. Some will deal with it better than others but there is no need for it. The game issue from the other thread is that the guy in question was 20, not 10. (Also Call of Duty isn't really that violent IMO. It's animated little figures falling over and going 'ugh').
