“Jacqui Smith was on the BBC News this morning, and she knew so little of what she was talking about that I ended up swearing at the TV ”

Yes, but as schools minister importantly,

she allowed the schools to be swamped with dubious creatures, and that is her primary job at the Home Office, trying to make sure the public don’t get the impression it is a bit risky to send the kids to school.

The UK has the most sexually abusive teaching profession in the developed world. The British make Japanese metro transport look positively safe for schoolgirls. Brit teachers are so icky.

The Home Office are clueless, PR driven, make stuff up as they go along, and living in Britain “That’s the challenge in front of us ” as mere citizens.

CEOP are an FBI expectation agency, (they respond to the work of others) they’re not allowed to do teachers on their own account.

Britain has spent 400 million dollars not banning sex offenders from working as teachers. CEOP are a spoof spook agency in other words.

Nobody is in jail in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand because of CEOP, which in an era of collective offending more or less establishes they’ve done nothing clever, ever.

They get really upset if anybody points out they’re a fake agency.

agreed. The control and identification of every action on the internet will hopefully never happen. It would be quite possible, but it would be ludicrous to give up those rights – namely privacy.

Of course it’s the intention. It’s just a move towards fucking over the average citizen.

how useful. a law that can’t work, prompted by public panic over a threat that doesn’t exist, but which weakens existing privacy protection and other civil rights.

perhaps that was the intention from the beginning…

Not only these sites, but online gaming is also a place these creepazoids hang out. It’s really the responsibility of everyone, those that are members, to be aware of what’s going on, and protect all the kids as much as we can.

The nature of an anonymous internet will always be a haven for these sickos. The only way I see this working is to require an internet ID for all users, which seems like an absurd idea to me.

Jacqui Smith was on the BBC News this morning, and she knew so little of what she was talking about that I ended up swearing at the TV – something I don’t do all that often. There are two very serious flaws in this latest attempt to ‘police’ the internet:
a) Hotmail (or any other free email service). Paedophile opens hotmail account, paedophile registers with Bebo/MySpace/Facebook, peadophile deletes hotmail account.
b) Most of the major social networks are based outside the UK, so will just ignore this latest bit of neo-Labour bluster

Oh and as a slightly-relevant bit of info for the benefit of your US readers, Bebo is by far the most popular social network in the UK (by millions of users over Myspace and Facebook)
