FTC Report Finds Sexually and Violently Explicit Content
in Online Virtual Worlds Accessed by Minors

The Federal Trade Commission today issued a report that examines the incidence of sexually and violently explicit content in online virtual worlds.

The congressionally mandated report, “Virtual Worlds and Kids: Mapping the Risks,” urges operators of virtual worlds to take a number of steps to keep explicit content away from children and teens, and recommends that parents familiarize themselves with the virtual worlds their kids visit.
