Safer Children in a Digital World - Dr Tanya Byron's Report

[James]

As you know lately some groups have been acting in the U.K to attempt to get our Government to see a compromise for gaming so we don't end up as stupid about this as say, America. This report below, the Byron report was submitted and proposed with a few ideas surrounding reasonable ideas how the British Government should act upon instead of radical changes to the internet, video gaming and online gaming.

For those of us who don't care enough to read the entire report, it boils down to lets police the internet.

Yes they can.
Age zones is already on most ISP services which block a lot of adult content and optionally forces you to only browse for study hours at certain times, hopefully if your parents cared enough to do so you wouldn't of ever found this forum.

Thats because real crime is hard.

The report didn't load for me, I'm afraid. But as for policing the internet and comparing it to real crime? I believe both are fucking hard.

With real crime, you still may have to scour the world for a wanted criminal. On the internet, it's the same deal though you could be looking through thousands of different websites, e-mail addresses, accounts, IP addresses, hostnames and what not.

Both are hard. One just may not require any physical work and the other requires more. I don't believe in policing the internet however. But it depends on the situation.
