               Big apple is watching you: iPhone 'Anti-sexting' control will stop people sending rude words through their mobiles...

Website information that I used for this article...

Sex-ting s such a huge problem for teens, even adults. iPhone has a plan to fix this problem. Apple has been awarded a patent to stop users from sex-ting or sending inappropriate messages on their phones.  Apple has not yet released the details of how it works, but only revealed that its 2008 application with the U.S patent office has finally been approved.


Will this new app stop users from being so nasty through text. If you have apple, you will finally have it programed into your phone. This will not stop sex-ting completely, but it may slow down the rate of sex-ting. The control application may require the user to replace the unauthorized text or may automatically delete the text or the entire communication.


Previously, iPhone apps have made it impossible for users to text while driving. They also banned them from dialing certain number at certain times.

This effects the world because students are being bullied because of sex-ting. This app can now abolish most sex-ting by letting parents know what is going on. When kids press the send button, they can never get that picture or text back. If we can stop this, there would be peace for a lot of kids. Teens have committed suicide over this problem, so if we present something to stop it, there wouldn't be so many teens thinking they aren't worth living.

So bottom line, whether you like sex-ting or not, apple will ban it completely. If you don't have an apple phone you have nothing to worry about. I personally see a lot wrong with sex-ting. I think this is a great idea. Kids stay on their phones constantly, this just lets their parents know they aren't doing the dirty. The last thing you want to do is type in a naughty word, but when you do..your parents will see everything, and I mean everything. The best solution for this problem, STOP SEX-TING!  Here is a video talking about the app:
