Bedeutung des "V" in "V-Chip"

In der aktuellen, deutschen Version wird behauptet bzw. impliziert das "V" stehe unzweifelhaft für "violence". Im englischen Artikel wird allerdings (mit Quellen hinterlegt) darauf hingewiesen, dass die Bedeutung des V umstritten ist:

The phrase "V-chip" was purportedly coined by Representative Edward J. Markey of Massachusetts. According to him the "V" stands for "violence". However, in an interview with Tim Collings, one of the people who claim to have invented the device, he says that it was intended to stand for "viewer control." Others in the broadcast industry attribute the development of the V-chip system to Jack Valenti, the head of the Motion Picture Association of America at the time, and the V is often mistakenly assumed to stand for Valenti.
