iPads + Children = Lawsuit

I just read an article that is not technically involving international law, but it was very interesting. Apparently Apple is being sued for the ease in which a child can purchase an app on an iPad or iPhone. The lead plaintiff in the case alleges that his 9 year-old daughter racked $200 in charges on her iPad. This is not the first time Apple has had an issue over their purchase policy. The FTC was asked by Congress last February to go over their policies.

It blows my mind that Apple is being sued for having a very simple purchase program. In my opinion, it is nice that I can quickly purchase apps without any hassle. If parents allow their children to play with iPads and iPhones they should make it clear that they are not allowed to make purchases.
