Tutors now have "adult content", this "lost" cannot be tolerated

  Talk about Fengsheng

  In any case, the tutoring machine is contaminated with content that is "inappropriate for children". Even third-party software is a kind of "lost" and should not be tolerated.

  According to reports, in order to help children learn, Mr. Zhang bought a Taiwan Backgammon tutor for his 8-year-old daughter. Not long ago, he discovered that an app called "Little Belly" in the tutor contains "adult content". In this regard, BBK customer service responded that the "Little Belly" APP is a third-party software and has been removed from the market.

  Judging from BBK's response, this software is not original, which means that the yellow-related APP is installed by the user, and it has nothing to do with it. However, the customer service staff also admitted that there is indeed a "little belly calculator" software in the application store of the BBK tutor. Parents questioned that under the "Little Belly Calculator" APP, there is a promotion of the "Little Belly" APP, click to log in to "Little Belly". Obviously, regardless of whether this is a technical loophole, or because of the cooperation between the family education machine platform and related apps, it is difficult for the companies involved to clear their responsibilities.

  Parent buyers are taught to help children learn to grow, but they want to hide the dirt. The ambiguous chat content, exposed pictures, and even sex comics are obviously contaminating children. Parents' angry complaints are also the most basic protection for children.

  Be aware that the vast majority of users of these tutors are elementary and middle school students, and they should have been insulated from pornographic and vulgar content. As a manufacturer of tutors, we should be more vigilant about this and take the initiative to set up filtering methods in product design to effectively protect students from the bad information in it, which is also our due responsibility.

  Maintaining a healthy growth environment for primary and middle school students, especially younger students, is no small matter. It is important to know that children’s emotional cognition is relatively simple, and their ability to distinguish information and protect themselves is also insufficient, and they are easily misled. Therefore, to ensure that students have a clear learning environment and put student rights first should be the primary consideration for the design of learning machine platforms and other related products.

  Through a web search, it was found that this was not the first time that BBK tutors appeared pornographic content. In January this year, a parent in Jiangxi Ruijin complained about the BBK tutor and claimed 120,000 yuan, because the indecent content appeared in the tutor and accompanied by video, which seriously affected the child's learning. In April, there were also similar complaints from parents, and BBK also evaded responsibility for other applications.

  Tutors are frequently involved in pornography, carelessly oversight, or even Chen Cang, both of which are against the original intention of tutors. In fact, many merchants use "100% natural" as the selling point when they are teaching sellers. Actually, he has repeatedly involved in pornography, which is undoubtedly the bottom line.

  This requires that some manufacturers of learning and education products for student groups, including APP developers, must clarify the main responsibilities, improve the review and filtering mechanism, and do not attempt to "take advantage". In addition, regulatory agencies should also strengthen review and supervision, actively handle complaints and strengthen penalties, in order to force some children's learning product manufacturers and developers to take social responsibility.

  Online online education for teenagers is a blue ocean. There is a broad market for related education products and online applications, but the industry is also extremely competitive. As far as education product suppliers are concerned, if they want to develop in the long run, they must keep to the bottom line, and don’t be fooled by those who are not suitable for children.
