The V-Chip

Question

The V-Chip

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The V-Chip allows parents to block undesired TV programs, giving them control over what their children are exposed to.

Answer: D
 The V-Chip remains optional for new television sets in the United States, meaning that consumers can choose whether or not to have it installed in their TV sets.

Option B is incorrect; while the V-Chip may be able to identify violent TV and computer programs, that is not its primary function. Option C is incorrect as well; the V-Chip does not violate the First Amendment right to free speech, as it is a voluntary tool that allows individuals to make their own decisions about what they watch.
