Panorama is a series of documentaries here in the United Kingdom, this week’s episode was about keeping kids safe online. They stooped to the level of ‘To catch a predator’ which was aired by America’s NBC and posing as a young girl, Panorama were able to net an Internet paedophile.
What Panorama don’t know is that most kids are utterly retarded when it comes to social networking, if they did know this, they would most likely just give up completely. As much as they will try to reinforce the safety tips conjured up by the likes of Bebo and Myspace, many kids are going to choose to ignore this anyway. The kids who care about their safety will already have privacy settings enabled and will not have their phone numbers and other personal information posted on their profiles.
