Dear Aunt TUAW,
Why does the new TUAW app app have a mature rating warning?
I thought this was a family friendly site!
Your loving nephew,
Hugo
Dear Hugo,
In case you’re worrying that the TUAW team is tippling on the liniment, playing pool, and buttoning their knickerbockers below the knees, fear not.
TUAW remains the same upright and steadfast fount of proprietary dignity it was before the application upgrade.
From what Auntie can tell, the AOL development team submitted the using the most cautious approach possible. The TUAW app provides unfiltered access to webpages. Because of that, a user could potentially navigate to websites that are not child-appropriate. While the app has no direct objectionable content, it retains a 17+ rating.
This is in-line with Firefox Home‘s and Opera‘s policies.
Auntie reminds you to get your flu shots, and take plenty of vitamin C and D this cold season.
Hugs,
Auntie T.
