Well over three million of the new iPhone 4 devices have already been sold, and Cris Clapp Logan, director of communications and congressional relations for Enough is Enough, tells OneNewsNow several pornography companies have already created services for it.
"Because of this feature, you have a backward-facing video and a forward-facing video, so the recipient can see your face. And if they have an iPhone, you can see theirs as well," Logan explains. "So individuals can actually talk through their phone in a video conferencing-like way -- and the pornographers are really trying to capitalize on this new feature."...
She notes that Apple has done a good job of trying to keep its application center porn-free, but it is possible to get around the system and access the applications. "So one of the things that we're recommending that parents do is actually disable this feature from their child's iPhone," the communications director adds.
She stresses that pornography addiction in this country is skyrocketing, even among young people. Industry officials have admitted in the past that if they can capture the youth, they likely will have a customer for a lifetime. In response to that, Enough is Enough's website features Internet Safety 101, which is a specific help for parents.
