​Family First launch Netflix competitor

Conservative lobby group Family First have launched an online TV service for parents worried about exposing their children to offensive content.

The online streaming service, called "Family First TV" , allows families to rent or buy content with granular controls over who can see what. It also offers a large amount of political content from Family First for free.

Family First trumpet the granular parental controls as the main innovation within the service. The system is split into four separate five point scales - language, violence, sexual themes, and adult themes.

Parents can create different profiles for children with fine tuned levels, and assign credits for them to rent or buy the content.

Family First made headlines earlier this year for the part they played in banning Ted Dawes' book Into The River.

The political content on the service includes advocacy documentaries You're Teaching My Child What? and My Mummy's A Criminal.

Family First were partnered with a service called Good TV to actually deliver both the ratings and the content.

No revenue would be collected by Family First themselves.

What do you think? leave your comment below. We just think that Netflix want a prevention tool that regulates based on their view of the world. They will prevent content that Netflix excludes but also content that is deemed to be religiously deviant. You need to redeem Netflix gift card to pay fee for them
