The issue of children and adolescents with social media has occupied the minds, given the spread of many crimes caused by the activity of adolescents through social media, which led to the ban of many applications in many countries.
Apple, the giant technology company, revealed the launch of many precautionary measures in order to ensure the appropriate applications for the ages of children and adolescents, while dealing with Apple tools and applications.
Protect children and adolescents
Apple added during its statement that there are many developed tools through which parents can share all the information and details about the real ages of their children and this information can be accessed through applications for the use of them in developing applications and ensuring their suitability for children and adolescents.
Third -party censorship
These steps came within many of the legislative pressures and orders in order to impose more restrictions to protect different age groups. The adjustments also included allowing continuous updating, direct supervision by “third party” on applications and managing Apple applications pages, which allows more control and protection of teenagers and children from inappropriate applications.
It is worth noting that Apple was one of the technological companies that submitted a pledge to issue protection tools through which the appropriate age group can be confirmed for each application, after the upcoming legislative procedures issued by many European Union countries to ensure that children protect from social media.
