8. Political and Social Implications

What are the political and social implications of the new technologies and the methods of their consumption?

To regulate the sutability of shows for audiences, they verify the audience's age

e.g. BBC iPlayer- when playing a programme with adult content it asks for age to be 16+ and audiences have to agree their age is suitable.

There is also the oppotunity for parent lock, where a password is needed to watch adult content shows. This however only relies on audiences to sign up to it.
