 This morning on bbc news reports interviewed parents at london science museum regarding pricary setting on socail networks.
Most of parents hadn’t got a clue but most of the kids interviewed did..
The report suggested that over half of UK childen are now listed on social networks with bebo being the largest in the uk for under 18’s …
The report also suggest govermental reccomendations regarding putting a 999 banner so that kids could phone up the police if they felt at risk from someone on the likes of bebo, facebook etc..
Sadly bbc hasn’t put anything online about this report as yet but times has the following:
To counter the problem, the Home Office will announce on Friday a new voluntary code of conduct for social networks. Bebo, MySpace and Facebook are to agree that, when under18s set up profiles, they will be set to a high privacy setting as a default.
