Facebook and Iran

Facebook and Iran

Iran has blocked access to social networking site Facebook ahead of June’s presidential elections, Iran’s Ilna news agency and web users say.

Access to the Facebook site was prohibited several days ahead of the presidential elections, Ilna reported.

It said that “according to certain Internet surfers, the site was banned because supporters of Mir Hossein Mousavi were using Facebook to better disseminate the candidate’s positions.

Its been reported that people attempting to visit the site received a message in Farsi that said: “Access to this site is not possible.”

Facebook expressed disappointment that its site was apparently blocked in Iran.

Online Child Protection Britain

Online Child Protection Britain

London – More than 700 suspected child sex offenders have been arrested over the past three years after investigations by Britain’s online child protection force.

The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) said its action had safeguarded 345 children from sexual abuse since its launch as a police agency reporting to the Home Office in April 2006.

Offenders are increasingly using peer-to-peer networks and newsgroups to share images of sexual abuse, CEOP said, rather than commercial pay-per-view sites.

This is not about technology — this is about people. There is no distinction between the online and offline worlds.
