Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
    Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

    No sorry. I'd like to actually call UNF in here and explain what exactly did he mean with "progress".
    What exactly does progress share with 6 years olds beauty contests? Just asking not being smart, maybe you had a theory behind that or something.

    Aye, kinda bullshit why they banned it but I'm happy they did. These contests are more of a problem in matter of child abuse or crappy parenting then anything else.

    Honey boo Bitch pageants are one thing. That shit is retardly stupid.

    On the other hand my wife won a couple "Local" pageants that the city did just to take pride in an event. She is fine to this day and no harm came to her in the process.

    InB4 'if you disagree you are a potential pedophile.'
    But really, I tend to agree. Fuck children's beauty contests, but really, fuck all of them. Stupidest shit ever as I see it.

    This is one average magazine tame magazines, very tame actually. They don't even look nearly as sexualized at this, why it gets called hyper-sexualization is too much.
    Hey lads. We have it here. Apparently to call 6 years olds beauty contests over sexualised they have to wear a thong and skimpy bikini!!

    Nevermind the fact that the whole idea itself for <16 IS by definition oversexualisation. And objectification.

    I wish it would be banned in the U.S. now, but alas that will probably never happen.

    I simply consider it sick to sexualize children in any shape or form.
    Fashion show contest at school for fun, fine. Having adult judges that portray to the child that how appreciated they are is meassured in their looks is retarded and just point to parents so insecure in themselves and with possible bad memories that they more than anything 'wish for their child to be popular'.
    Fuck 'em, they are idiots.

    I don't really care for beauty pageants, but this is still bullshit. Nanny states never change.

Either way its too silly, not going to worry about something I really don't care about

    Objectification? That is another whole subject, not touching with with a 6 foot pole.
    *sigh*
    Look, I appreciate you trying hard, but really. No.
    OF COURSE!!!! you won't see 6 years old doing what those models do on fhm or playboy or whatever. It's a whole different category. Once you take everything and you put it into its APPROPRIATE CONTEXT!!! anyone sane of mind would realise that yes, a 6 years old in a belly top wearing as much make up as a 50 dollars whore parading in front of adult judges is oversexualising, for their age.

    Eeeh no objectification in HERE is not a whole different subject. It's actually extremely appropriate. But somehow something tells me you have a different opinion on that.

    Faith in humanity restored by 1 point.

    Seeing these things on TV disgusted me.

    I think its a good move. Some parents (U.S) get their children plastic surgery in order to compete
    THats absolutely terrible! How could they even... *facepalms* words really can't express my shock and disgust at that fact.

    No I don't believe that. Can someone confirm or deny?
