I'm really interested in this, I have never heard about it (I'm not from America)

The Violence Chip is a new chip that will be installed in all television sets from this point on as mandated by the Telecommunications Act of 1996. This is a programable chip, meaning when parents buy their television sets they can program in certain criteria (such as amounts of violence, sex or explicit language) of the programs they do not want to see, or their children to see. Programs that have been predetermined of having any of these attributes will be blocked out of the TV set.
