New cell phone app identifies predatory adults posing as kids

Image via Wikipedia Worried that your child may be being secretly groomed on the Internet by a predatory paedophile? Well, you can take a breather as scientists have developed a new mobile phone application that helps identify adults posing as children. The software, Child Defence, enables children to scan web chat on their mobile phones to check the age of people they are messaging, reports the Daily Mail. The software has been written by researchers at Isis Forensics, a spin out company based in Lancaster University. The software uses the latest advances in language analysis technology to identify language quirks peculiar to different age groups.

We aren’t born afraid of spiders and snakes

Image via Wikipedia People aren’t born afraid of spiders and snakes, but can learn these fears very quickly during infancy, says a new research. Scientists have studied how infants and toddlers react to scary objects. In one set of experiments, they showed infants as young as 7 months old two videos side by side-one of a snake and one of something non-threatening, such as an elephant. At the same time, the researchers played either a fearful voice or a happy voice. The babies spent more time looking at the snake videos when listening to the fearful voices, but showed no signs of fear themselves.

Facebook Users Changing Display Pic To Cartoon Characters

Image via CrunchBase Here is a very interesting trend that is going on in the world of Facebook . Many Facebook users have started to change their Display pics to cartoon characters. It is expected that Facebook is going through a cultural revolution at this point regarding what we can safely say the chip and Dale effect. The Facebook page that is promoting the pictures claims that it is for a campaign to end violence among children. The page coaxes adult users to change their display pics on Facebook. Until Monday (Dec. 6), there should be no human faces on Facebook but an invasion of memories. This is for eliminating violence against children, The campaign creator asks users to change their profile pics and share the above statement in their status message . Just how did campaign start off is really a mystery. So many facebook users are pointing out that this is not going to yield an acceptable end result. one user said “Yeah…like this is gonna help end violence against children...

Lindungi Anak, Facebook Luncurkan "Tombol Panik"

Facebook meluncurkan aplikasi "tombol panik" pada situs jejaring sosial itu untuk melindungi pengguna golongan anak dan remaja. Tombol ini bila diklik akan melaporkan setiap upaya pelecehan seksual ke Pusat Perlindungan Eksploitasi Anak (CEOP) dan tim Facebook. Aplikasi itu juga akan muncul pada laman anak dan para remaja itu dengan menginformasikan bahwa "mereka terlindungi secara online." Peluncuran dilakukan menyusul debat berbulan-bulan CEOP dan Facebook yang awalnya menolak ide tersebut. CEOP, lembaga penegakan hukum di bawah kewenangan pemerintah, ditugaskan melacak pelaku pelecehan seks online, menuntut "tombol panik" dipasang di semua jejaring sosial sejak November lalu. Bebo menjadi jejaring sosial pertama yang menginstal "tombol panik", diikuti Myspace, namun Facebook menolak penambahan itu, dengan alasan sistem pengendalian mereka sudah cukup memadai.

Top Ten Ways to Monitor Your Kids on Social Networking

Teen Bill Gates was problem child for mum, says dad

A teenage Bill Gates was such a problem child that he and his parents had to go through family therapy for two years, the Microsoft founder's dad has revealed. "Things obviously worked themselves out," the New York Daily News quoted Gates Sr., 84, as telling the crowd in the auditorium of the storied 92nd Street Y. He went on: "Our family was pretty typical as families go, with conflicts arising between parents and children at a certain age. "There's fighting against discipline, and that's the situation we had. In this particular case it was mostly between Bill and his mother." Gates Jr., nicknamed Trey at home, said: "Mom was on the front line. "But Dad was in reserve."

Facebook Software Sexual Predators

Facebook believes 'under the radar' checks developed by its engineers are more important for keeping its site safe than public deterrents such as a Ceops 'panic button'. Photograph: Linda Nylind Facebook has developed sophisticated algorithms to monitor its users and detect inappropriate and predatory behaviour, bolstering its latest raft of initiatives to improve the safety of its users. Having launched an education campaign, an improved reporting procedure and a 24/7 police hotline on Monday, Facebook told the Guardian that it has introduced a number of algorithms that track the behaviour of its users and flag up suspicious activity, including members with a significant number of declined friend requests and those with a high proportion of contacts of one gender. Another filter, common on web publishing sites, scans photo uploads for skin tones and blocks problem images – the "no nipples" filter that caused pictures of b...

'Facebook Ignores Demands For Panic Button'

Will People Leave Facebook for Buzz? Fat Chance

Let's say you'd constituted a drinking game for the aftermath of Tuesday's unveiling of Google Buzz , the odd new mishmash of status messages, geolocation, and social-media aggregation: Take a drink every time some pundit says Google is trying to "kill" Facebook, Twitter, or any number of the "geo" start-ups out there. You'd have been totally blitzed. The cries of "It's a Facebook killer!" and "It's going to kill Twitter!" are tedious, but completely understandable considering that this is one of the first big pushes from Google, which has never been able to get a good grip on social networking , to make inroads in the space. And Buzz is indeed a product that's reactionary as opposed to trailblazing. It's Google's biggest acknowledgment of the fact that people dig these short real-time messages and social-media sharing . It aims to take the reasons why people use Facebook, why people use Twitter, and w...

The Dangers of 'Sexting'

The Secret Spiritual World of Children

Most of us understand that we cannot physically see beyond the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, for instance, to the edge of the infrared or the ultra violet. Accepting this, it might not be too much of a leap to realize that we may also be missing something – like being able to see or hear other beings that might actually be around us. This is the basic premise that – if you accept it - will enable you to give Dr. Tobin Hart’s remarkable book, The Secret Spiritual World of Children, a credible read.
