Irish Gov't Seeks To Rein In Cyber Bullying

An anonymous reader points out a story on the Irish Times that says "the Irish government is looking for ways to combat 'cyber-bullying' after data indicated that a significant percentage of young children are subjected to this kind of abuse via their mobile phone and popular social network accounts. The industry has been asked to come up with solutions for this problem and a government office is due to publish a guide on the issue in the near future. Surely this is a problem faced by children in all developed countries these days." Add "for the children" to the list of reasons to track the Web-site habits of mobile web users in Ireland.

This is a *basic* problem. In adult life, sociopaths end up running countries, religions, and/or large amoral corporations.

Soo true. You only need to overhear a 'private' conversation between two company directors to see how utterly lacking they are in the type of wisdom needed by someone in such a position of power.
