So, the kids were viewing some innocent star wars lego animations on youtube. I had a look see and some of the comments posted are incredible with their language and vitriol to other posters.
This is about lego!!!!
Anyway, the point is, can you install a filter on an ipod/ipad that would operate as a swear filter?
Or generally, a parental control system as on a pc?

Agree fully, Youtube,Yahoo etc needs a swear filter as many of the comments are inappropriate and offensive, oh and a spell checker would be good as well.

I think the problem is that the comments on youtube don't just contain the odd rude word. A swear filter isn't going to deal with the bullying, racism, and general misanthropy. The people who post a video have the option to turn comments on or off for their post, but it would be nice for people viewing the site to be be able to view with [i]all [/i]comments off

I believe there's a YouTube comments blocker extension for Chrome.

Completely agree and would be interested in the responses.

My 5 year old went from Dora the Explorer to Dora on crack killing the monkey with an axe in a single link.

That said if you've got time to create an animation of Dora on crack you're a dick with too much time on your hands.

Surely you'd need Youtube to put in a content rating system?
