The content coverage analyses examined the curricular path and areas covered in the state standards documents, while the content appropriateness analyses addressed both the
inclusion of inappropriate content and the exclusion of important content.
Findings indicated that 32 % of elementary education majors in this study had an unrestricted profile on Facebook, and only 22 % of those profiles were
devoid of inappropriate content.
The first can be traced back to the recent
scandal of inappropriate content being intentionally shelved in the children's ebook sections of major retail websites.
In these situations, there may be no claim against the service provider itself as a result of content of an offending website — the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002 (SI 2002/2013) and the Defamation Act 1996, for example, contain safeguards for service providers if they are
unaware of inappropriate content they are hosting.
But the new policy allows users to flag this type
of inappropriate content in the main app, which has implications for the Kids app as well.
As one of the primary purposes of standards documents is to provide guidance for state and local assessment and curriculum development, the
inclusion of inappropriate content has implications for student achievement and classroom practice.
Facebook has also integrated safety filters with proactive detection, so kids will not be able to share any sexual content, nudity, violence, or any other
kind of inappropriate content.
The project is a response to concerns about the availability
of inappropriate content to school children - A new study from researchers at the University of Oxford casts serious doubt on the effectiveness of internet filtering, suggesting that, while parents are reassured by adding filtering to their domestic gadgets, both the suppliers and consumers of inappropriate content can easily find ways around it.
Telegram's CEO Pavel Durov said that Apple informed
them of inappropriate content being made available to users through the app which is why it was taken down.
