OLPC Used to Browse Porn

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the extracurricular-activities dept.

youthoftoday writes "The OLPC project to bring the internet to third world has worked well — too well, it seems. Yahoo reports that Nigerian Children are already using the OLPC to browse for porn." This is why as kids we couldn't look at National Geographic issues without being supervised. A rep from OLPC said, understandably, that the laptops would now be fitted with filters.

    Why are "children" capitalized? Is "Nigerian Children" some kind of a scammer group? What a funny name..

    yeah, that used to happen all the time to me as well. Because it would only happen when an articles was REALLY fresh -- no comments, nothing -- I figured it was some bug in Slash (the slashcode) that didn't atomically generate the page and the link to the page at the same time... or something.
