We like checking up on the BBC, mainly because its home nation seems really nervous about the internet (whose merits and demons we were comparably quick to embrace).
In the last few weeks, the BBC has furnished vigilant parents with terror-stricken warnings about Cyber Bullying and ID theft (social networking’s mainly to blame), the “worsening” state of child porn, and the denigration of basic human values resulting from virtual worlds. (Well, we could’ve told you that.)
But we can’t hate that hard. NY state is home to investigators that posed as kids to tempt sex predators on Facebook. Nice.
