UK Gov't Wants Facebook To Feature Child Safety Button

judgecorp writes "Harriet Harman, the deputy leader of the Labour Party, has said that UK government ministers are 'taking action' to get Facebook to add a British child protection button (called CEOP) to its site. The move comes after the UK's Daily Mail withdrew allegations that teenagers on Facebook are continually pestered — though Facebook is still considering suing the paper. The campaign apparently ignores Facebook's assertion that it already has better child protection in place and the CEOP button would be limited to the UK."

I hate these kinds of smear arguments. What do they accomplish? Did she come to conscious decision that she would drive without due care and attention? Does that mean she condones road accidents? She's a human being, and as such, is capable of mistakes, and making bad decisions given in split seconds.

If you think she's a bad politician, why not focus on her politics instead?

Actually, it's kind of funny. According to your article, she was allegedly in an accident and didn't stop to give the details. The primary factor in her decision not to give details would have been considering what mud-slingers such as yourself would say had she been caught and 'fessed up. So, by your twisted logic, you condone people dodging the responsibilities for their actions.
