Children running up credit card bills on 'free' apps | iPad game apps for children | Scoop.it

APPLE has been accused by the NSW state government of "taking unfair advantage" of children after reports that parents were unwittingly being billed hundreds of dollars for their children's use of "free" apps.

 

The Fair Trading Minister, Anthony Roberts, said consumer regulators were examining ways to address the issue but called on Apple to find a fix. He said the company's defence that parents should protect themselves or activate parental control settings was unacceptable.
