Thanks for the Links.
I have started to look at Jutra on a semi regular basis after it was mentioned on Irdial. Damn good read. I noticed another pro-ID card propaganda on the BBQ that is like the parasite riding on the back of a propagated fear, striking at the hearts of all parents and aiming to instill the placid obeying sheep goodhearted honest citizen mentality in to their children:
Child online safety card unveiled
The ID scheme aims to combat online groomingA virtual ID card designed to improve children’s net safety has been launched in the UK, US, Canada and Australia. The NetIDMe card can be swapped by children online when using chatrooms, instant messaging and social networks.
Parents and children can apply for the card using credit card details and a form countersigned by a professional who knows the child concerned.
It is hoped that the card will make it harder for adults to pose as children when online.
The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (Ceop) has said one in 12 children met up with someone encountered first online.
Online friends
The ID scheme was set up by UK businessman Alex Hewitt after he discovered that his daughter could only verify the age and identity of a third of her 150 online friends.
We would advise all parents and young people to remain vigilant to potential dangers
Detective Chief Superintendent Tom PorterHe said: “People want to feel safe online and know the people they are talking to are who they say they are.”
The company said it would also use software techniques “similar to those used by the passport agency” to authenticate applications for the ID card.
The system can only work if two children messaging each other online have both signed up to the scheme.
Children swap their assigned NetID nicknames and take turns to log onto the service’s website.
The IDs are confirmed only if both parties have entered their e-mail address and passwords into the service. The card costs £10 a year and Mr Hewitt said he hoped it would “substantially reduce” the risk of young children being targeted by adults.
Jim Gamble, chief executive of the Ceop Centre, said: “Any measure that can help identify the real age of someone online is one more step to deterring people from assuming different online identities to exploit, groom and abuse children over the internet.”
Detective Chief Superintendent Tom Porter, head of interventions, of the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency, said technology could not guarantee complete protection.
He said: “We would advise all parents and young people to remain vigilant to potential dangers and ensure no personally identifiable information is shared with online strangers.” [...]
BBQ Scum simply cant resiste the urge to streetwalk and prostitute themselvs. We all know that using prostitutes is addictive, but addiction to BEING a prostitute?!
Now I’ve heard everything.
Note how this revolting, immoral, barely legal piece of bullshit is UNATTRIBUTED so that no one can be taken to task for bribery. Very nice you vermin!
Note how once again, there is no link to N02ID for ‘balance’ but there IS a link to the company that is providing this ‘service’. That is pure ‘pay for play’, and bias.
