As many of you know and are planning events and initiatives for the fourth international Internet Safety Day, I thought here you could post what you're doing in response to recent US findings that "many teenagers often stumble across pornography online."
The EU's Information Society and Media Commissioner Viviane Reding said
"I am calling upon all decision-makers in the private and in the public sector to help make the internet a safer place for the most vulnerable of our society,"
which presumably includes Phobiazero. I'm sure he's doing something in this respect for v2.
But until pr0n filters are installed let's have no naughty pictures in here, let's make this a safe and secure place for younger electronic fans to talk about their favourite Aphex album without suddenly coming across some asian woman's arse and tits.

I wonder how much they got paid the agency that made the astonishing discovery that "many teenagers often stumble across pornography online." ?
I don't think stumble's quite the right word.

Poor children, how can they deal with sex, all alone and vulnerable? It's dangerous business and we should by all means shelter them from it.

I'm going to attempt to locate these pornographic web sites and email their Webmasters to tell them about the day and hope that they might curtail their content. I'm also being sponsored by Flora in the Blogathon.

As unlikely as it seems, there are a few instances where people do it accidentally and from an employment law POV IT departments are advised to not write this off as the person who was looking at the porn, lying to get out of trouble. Naturally, there should be some semblance of a believeable story. I know forensics people called in to investigate a senior government official charged with looking at scud on the taxpayer's time and the natural assumption was that this guy "accidentally" opening a dodgy page (just as someone stuck their head round the door, as it happens) was a lie. Still, because of the potential damage to his character and, because of his position, it'd be reported in the papers and the potential for libel, etc. it was decided it was too expensive to say anything until they were certain he was guilty.
Turns out he was telling the truth. It was the first and only site of the kind he had visited and he had been searching for "Coed"; a rather innocent welsh word meaning "wood" (as in collection of trees). Instead, he "stumbled" across American sites referencing "co-ed" students, which I'm informed sometimes have less than savoury content.

Ha, I wondered what they meant by blogathon, do you have to read 26 miles worth of Blog text or you get sponsered per blog that you read before you collapse of an overdose of "Over on rawbeetroot's blog they're talking about the recent flame war that erupted on The Daily Crimping which all stemmed from an article on CSS semantics on Dave Goodfart's weekly podcast which takes a wry look at emerging blogs... "

A lad I knew at school's dad got sacked from his job as the manager of an catalogue depot because he filled an entire 20 gig hard drive with porn then ordered another one from head office. They couldn't understand why he needed 20 gig for a few spreadsheets and emails, they went around to investigate, and found it all. What a muppet.

I used to. But that was when I didn't have a computer at home, and work was my only exposure to internet porn.
