The idea of the panic button is the wackiest I've ever heard.
Some kid in New Zealand is going to hit the panic because someone in Belarus tries to pick them up !!..talk about a waste of time
I think this is a special dispensation from Facebook to paedohysteric Britain. It only applies to British Facebook users at the moment.
I was reading a report on it in a French online newspaper and it was obviously being presented to their readers as an example of how hysterically nuts we've become.
become?
surely the French know the British have always been hysterically nuts! |

i think you are right Fat Controller.
As wonderful as the net is, it seems to have made people abandon all commonsense, reveal all their intimate details and open themselves up to all sorts of attack and then wonder why they get harassed !

Agreed - far too much information "available" |

More than 200 UK Facebook users have reported suspicious behaviour following the launch of a "panic button" application last month, figures show.
The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (Ceop), which created the app, say the figures represent a seven fold increase in reports.
I wouldn't use Facebook if my life depended on it, but why do they have a panic button for reporting 'suspicious' behaviour? And what the hell constitutes suspicious behaviour online?
Shouldn't they have a button for reporting incredibly stupid Facebook users? Perhaps not. I'd be activating it every 5 seconds. But thankfully I will never be seen dead in there. |
