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."
We respect your concerns about child safety, so we've installed a Child Safety Button for our younger users. It's a big "X" located in the upper-right corner of Facebook. Macs don't use X technology, so we built a red button for their Facebook instead. We're pretty sure those are the only two Facebooks anyone uses.
So presumably Facebook is a danger to kids whilst her talking on a mobile phone while driving is safe for kids who could be out in the street at the time?
Legally, I think it's currently ok to run over kids *if* they are fully clothed.

That's right. The correct term for "sexism by women against men" is "feminism". Isn't it? ;)
NB: Any women reading this post, please don't mistake that ;) for an inappropriate, lecherous gesture. I find lecherous gestures are always appropriate! ;)

If you're a British politician, you automatically go on "Arsebook".
Most British politicians could not distinguish this from Elbowbook.
I can't wait until my nephew in the UK is old enough to accuse various MP's of molestation, even if he's never met them.
