Tools and techniques used to monitor media exposure are widely available to parents, negating the need for increased governmental regulation of content, explains Adam Thierer in "Parents Have Many Tools to Combat Objectionable Media Content." In a new Progress on Point document released by The Progress & Freedom Foundation, Thierer documents these tools and explains the roles that industry-led educational efforts and advocacy groups can play in protecting children from exposure to content that is not age appropriate.
