There is, certainly. That said, I’m not sure how this is especially different from the “Report Abuse” links attached to pretty much everything on every social networking site in existence. Smells like a PR campaign. M. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group. To unsubscribe, please visit http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/archives/2005/01/mailing_list.html.

RE: [backstage] Websites to get Panic Buttons
Indeed, although this could be a good idea, I think it will end up like the webmail clients report as spam or junk buttons. Where people use them instead of the delete button and then complain when they don't get further email! Neil.

Re: [backstage] Websites to get Panic Buttons
Why should facebook need a panic button for children ? - the TCs clearly set a minimum age. I don't have a problem with the buttons per se, but they should be accompanied with fines for the parents of children caught using such sites - say £250 per incident. I don't have a problem with the buttons per se, but parents need to take more responsibility for the behaviour of their children - I shouldn't have to moderate my bahaviour in an mature space on the off-chance that there are kids lurking on the site waiting to groom unsuspecting adults.

In rare defence of the proposals, plenty of teenagers are above the minimum age but still vulnerable to bullying, inappropriate content, etc. And, in fact, on reading the TCs just there, I can’t actually see any reference to a minimum age at all: http://www.facebook.com/terms.php?ref=pf M. -- mo mcroberts http://nevali.net iChat: mo.mcrobe...@me.com Jabber/GTalk: m...@ilaven.net Twitter: @nevali Run Leopard or Snow Leopard?

Re: [backstage] Websites to get Panic Buttons
This is just ridiculous. It just says that you are all paedos (or tells young people that all adults are a threat) and also plays into the stranger danger lie. Almost all abuse of children happens by trusted, known people. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaUkt59vY1Q http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=9031532194656768989 If these do-gooders want an advert on every profile page they they should PAY for them. 2009/12/7 Lee Ball l...@leenukes.co.uk Seems like a good idea for me: Facebook and other social networking websites are to install panic buttons so children can alert the sites' operators if obscene or inappropriate material is posted. http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/the_web/article6946162.ece There is a chance this could be abused though. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
