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."
To be fair - and it twists my titties to say anything nice about Zanulabour - this is a Harridan Hormone policy, not nuLabour. She's utterly, utterly deranged.
Although of course it is exactly the sort of tabloid friendly knee-jerk bullshit policy that they do so love enacting. Fortunately they won't have time, although I'm sure they'll announce it then accuse everyone else of being Soft on Child Predators.
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
