SIGN of the TIMES:Pro-family activist warns of potential rise in 'mobile porn'

A pro-family activist says concerned Christians can play a key role in making it tough for mobile phone companies to offer pornography. According to Juniper Research, revenues from mobile adult services are poised to approach $3.5 billion by 2010. It was also concluded in the report that as cell phone technology advances, porn will become easier to obtain. But Pat Trueman, special counsel with the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), says concerned consumers can still limit the reach of mobile porn."People have some say-so with their members of Congress. If these phone companies agitate to offer pornography on phones, people have to go to their congressman and say no, because Congress can pass a law prohibiting this," explains Trueman. (See May 2005 interview with Trueman on this topic)The ADF special counsel points out that former Congressman Steve Largent is president and CEO of CTIA-The Wireless Association-an organization which represents all sectors of wireless communications. Largent, a family advocate and former member of the U.S. House, has vowed to do all he can to keep porn from becoming widely available on mobile phones.Trueman also suggests that parents regulate their child's use of the phone. He says many children send pornographic emails to each other. "It's a regular thing in high school and college, [and] I fear it's a regular thing in grade school," says the attorney. He urges parents to remain vigilant while at the same time laying down usage rules.
