For people who have kids who play games like Angry Birds with advertisements, a little warning:

Not sure if it’s international but here in the Netherlands those app advertisements now show war propaganda, also to kids with images you don’t want them to see I think..

Just a little heads up!

That’s no way to win support.. :nkoFacepalm2:

@stux A helpful thing for games like that is to put the phone in airplane mode while playing.

@CStamp good one! :blobcatgiggle:

but aren't they "preloaded" somehow i wonder

@stux I play a stupid game while biding time and ads only appear when the app is talking to internet somehow. Also, it's been a while, but same with Angry Birds. They need to serve the ads, change them depending on advertisers, storing them on the game would bloat things...

@CStamp @stux Also it would make it impossible to track them. So it would bring no money.

It's about time that Apple, Google and Microsoft let us disable internet access per app basis. At least in parental controls.

@stux I think Angry Birds was asking for age/birthday for advertisement reasons?
