Editing V-chip (section)

===Lack of supporting research===
The [[American Civil Liberties Union]] argues, "Research has not proven that watching violence on television causes watchers to commit violence" citing the Federal Trade Commission's ''Marketing Violent Entertainment to Children: A Review of the Self-Regulation and Industry Practices in the Motion Picture, Music Recording, & Electronic Game Industries'' report in September 2001 as support. In ACLU's website, ACLU quoted the FTC in saying, "Most researchers and investigators agree that exposure to media violence alone does not cause a child to commit a violent act, and that it is not the sole, or even the most important, factor in contributing to youth aggression, anti-social attitudes, and violence."<ref>American Civil Liberties Union. (2004, September 15). ACLU Comments to the Federal Communications Commission re: MB Docket No. 04-261, the Matter of Violent Television Programming and Its Impact on Children.

According to J.M. Balkin, author of ''Media Filters and the V-Chip'', people "want to filter out dangerous ideas and views they do not agree with or expressions that offend and anger them."<ref>Balkin, J. M. (1998). ''Media Filters and the V-Chip''.

Balkin says some people believe that the use of the V-chip is a way for the government to "intervene and impose binding moral standards" on others.
