MySpace faces big trouble for not filtering child pornography
Posted in Uncategorized on March 27, 2009 by the3gdatingagencySky News has just reported on the story of a girl who has been arrested and charged with possession of child pornography and distribution of child pornography after posting nude pictures of herself on MySpace.
Whilst MySpace has been challenged before for exposing children to porn hopefully this latest headline will bring intervention from the regulators as it follows on from some disturbing “Stexting” stories in the US involving minors over the past few weeks (eg. NY Times Story and CBS News)
The MySpace lawyers will undoubtedly be kept busy… particularly as the tip off didn’t come from MySpace themselves but from America’s National Centre for Missing & Exploited Children.
Inability to check if profiles are real and verify the age of users spells Trouble for Social Networks…
Posted in Uncategorized on March 25, 2009 by the3gdatingagencySocial Networking Site Mixi has taken steps including deleting members and groups who are involved in “Dating” or “Offline Meeting” in order to comply with the “Dating Site Regulation Act” which acts to prohibit 18+ members from being able to use social networking sites for dating or off line meetings with under 18’s.
With MySpace banning 30,000 sex offenders back in 2007, it is great to see a Social Networking site taking a more responsible position on what they can and can’t safely offer.
“Would you like Single Class Sir?”
Posted in Uncategorized on March 25, 2009 by the3gdatingagencyRyanair’s online engagement marketing never ceases to delight me… and the latest wheeze from Michael O’Leary, CEO of Europes biggest airline operator, is a €1000 prize competition to find the silliest thing that they could charge excess fees for. Why don’t you take part in the fun by emailing them your idea… i couldn’t help but send them three of my hair brain suggestions:
1) Forget Aisle seats and priority boarding how about £25 to sit next to the Tall Dark and Handsome I saw on the way up to the aircraft?
2) What about £50 to sit on the ‘Single and Looking’ seats. Why not launch an inflight dating service and call it “Single Class”.
3) How about using the Seat Belt Lights to coordinate inflight speed dating rounds… should be a hit as everyone knows the rules already: you have to remain in your seat whenever the seat belt lights are turned on.
More details here, send your competition entry’s to competition@ryanair.com

Another reason for your workplace to ban access to social networking sites…
Posted in Uncategorized on March 16, 2009 by the3gdatingagencyWhilst we’ve heard before of countless occasions where over zealous office managers have placed workplace bans on accessing social networks from work PC’s to try and improve worker productivity (eg. here, here, here and here) but Forbes is now reporting that these sites are the greatest tools for hackers to gain entry into corporate IT systems.
