RE: [uk-netmarketing] RE: Row over crackdown on adoption websites

[Emily Dubberley]

This all sounds like the ridiculously OTT piece CV did on the "Tonight"

tabloid-ese show on ITV. She was banging on about how the internet (and in

particular giving all children at schools an email address) was a license

for paedophiles to harm our children. The fact that, like all children's

activities, lack of supervision is the key to risk was slightly ignored...


> On a similar note, possibly silliest 'internet is bad for kids' story I've

heard was in The Mail (I think) last year saying that the rise in e-commerce

meant there were more vans on the road so the internet was increasing the

risk of children getting run over...
