Latimes.com - Should Google censor a dogfighting game?
I agree. The focus of the protest against KG Dogfighting -- or any other game that crosses some activists' line -- should be on the game developer. There's a real difference between illegal speech (the proverbial shout of "Fire!" in a crowded theater) and cruel or inhumane fantasies. Service providers such as Google can certainly help matters by enabling parental controls that let mom and dad block content they don't want junior to see. Google does just that; Kage Games tagged the dogfighting game "High Maturity," the most restrictive rating, making it unavailable under all but the most permissive of set-ups. (Granted, the default setting for Android smartphones is the most permissive, but that's another issue.)
