Is it up to parents to protect children online?

That’s what Naomi Gummer says, a public policy analyst at Google. By her opinion, parents are to blame if children view pornography online and it’s up to them to protect their children online. She said it was a myth that laws can prevent children from viewing explicit material:

“The idea that laws can adequately protect young people is a myth. Technology is moving so fast that legislation is a blunt tool for addressing these challenges. But also the truth is that parents are complicit in their kids using underage social networking sites. It is about education, not using legislative leavers.”

Interesting fact: 25% of kids have seen sexual images, but only 14% saw them online.

What do you think? Should it be up to parents to stop their children watching porn? Is it possible to control everything from YouTube to Facebook to Pinterest? And how can Yasni help parents to protect their children?

Yasni is at full speed on its way to Russia

As we all know, in most cases stagnation means stepping backwards, especially for a young and innovative startup such as Yasni. In the last few months everything went exceptionally well for us, particularly regarding our international growth. Therefore, we decided to have a look at Russia. We already have plenty of users from all over the world (U.S.A., UK, France, Canada, Brazil, etc.), but in our opinion Russia offers enormous opportunities for us. At first, we introduced Russian as a new language on Yasni. That was quite a challenge, because all Yasni sites and texts had to be translated. Fortunately, we have a native speaker in our team! So now you can use Yasni completely in Russian – both when logged into your Exposé and when logged out. Of course, you have to set your browser language to Russian, then.

Now, quasi built overnight, here is our new Russian Yasni domain, accessible at yasni.ru.

The opportunities Russia offers can be seen, e.g. at the size of the country. It is by area the largest country in the world and counts more than 140 million inhabitants! We really look forward to welcoming those 140 million users on yasni.ru!
