There's a saying I once heard, You can either have freedom, or you can have safety. There needs to be a balace obviously, but the problem is your kids are never going to be completely safe. There's going to be someone out there who turn something fun and free into something dangerous. So we can either ban everything that can be potentially dangerous, or train our kids to be smarter and more careful.
And if parents nowadays can't watch or teach their kids, then the real problem isn't gaming apps. I'm not blaming the parents either, if parents are powerless then there's something wrong with the family unit. I always felt the crappy economy is tearing parents away from their children and this is having a profound effect on some of them.
Ahem that's another subject. Either way I hope Nintendo will bring the SpotPass feature back but install some protective controls on there instead of getting rid of it forever.
