Singapore’s three mobile operators — StarHub, SingTel and M1 — have launched a voluntary code of conduct to combat concerns about minors accessing “undesirable content”. The code states that mobile content should be suitable for public consumption (so no sex, explicit nudity, extreme violence or things that incite racial and/or religious intolerance) and applies to all the operators and content providers which have contractual arrangements with the operators. For those sites that are just generally available on the web there isn’t much the operators can do except offer the option of disabling GPRS access for minors.
