Editing V-chip (section)

===Parental responsibility===
{{Further|Television Watch}}
While the U.S. [[Federal Communications Commission]] (FCC) and [[Parents Television Council]] (PTC) research has shown low percentages in parental involvement in television viewing control, [[Television Watch]], a [[Charleston, South Carolina]]-based organization advocating the use of parental controls like the V-chip, has consistently found otherwise in its research. They found in June 2007 that the majority of parents personally monitor their children's television viewing in some way, whether through use of the V-chip or other means. TV Watch has also found that most parents know that they have the option of the V-chip or other parental controls to monitor their children's television viewing, and believe it is primarily their responsibility, not that of the government, to protect children from inappropriate content on television.<ref>{{cite journal
