Oleh: Rusdin Tompo (Aktivis Hak Anak) Anak-anak telah menjadi bagian dari warga facebook (fb). Di situs jejaring sosial itu, kita bisa melihat foto-foto anak terserak, mulai dari foto bayi hingga foto-foto masa kecil penuh nostalgia. Mereka tampil dalam beragam ekspresi. Sejatinya, anak-anak belum dapat memiliki akun fb karena tidak memenuhi syarat usia yang diminta, yakni berusia 17 tahun ke atas. Namun di fb, seseorang mudah melakukan pendaftaran online internet (sign up) bila mempunyai alamat email. Identitas bisa saja dipalsukan, mengingat ketika pendaftaran tidak diharuskan menyertakan kopi bukti data diri. Jika semua kolom data pribadi diisi lengkap, dan verifikasi email member telah berhasil, maka kurang dari 10 menit seorang anak sudah bisa memiliki akun fb yang diinginkan.

A Facebook phishing attack is on the loose this weekend — the third widespread attack on the site in the past three weeks. The attack attempts to steal your Facebook login credentials, install malware on your computer, and even get your home address.

To avoid getting caught, simply remove the “hilarious video” if you find it on your Facebook wall. If you see it elsewhere on Facebook, don’t click it … and of course remember the obvious rule: Don’t enter your Facebook login anywhere other than Facebook.com. If you already fell fo...

The newspaper business has been absolutely decimated over the past decade as many news organizations adapted slowly to the changes brought forth by the Internet. But one of the men partly responsible for helping to usher in the new era of digital media (and advertising) is hopeful about the future of news. And he actually believes companies can make money off it. Google CEO Eric Schmidt -- speaking at the American Society of News Editors annual meeting in Washington D.C. -- reportedly said that high-quality journalism will prevail. Politico's Jake Sherman has a detailed report on Schmidt's remarks, including the high-tech executive's advice for making money off content on the Web. As has become a common refrain in the news media business, Schmidt also noted that there's more of a business model problem than a news problem facing the industry.
