Facebook Guilty -Dad sues Facebook over 12-year-old's nude photos


Bad side of Facebook…

A Northern Ireland man whose 12-year-old daughter won't stop posting "sexually explicit" photos of herself on Facebook is suing the social media giant for failing to enforce its own age restrictions.According to Hilary Carmichael Solicitors; the suit alleges Facebook is "guilty of negligence" and creating "a risk of sexual and physical harm" to the child.
"She appears heavily made-up, she appears in a provocative pose and she appears much older than her 12 years," Carmichael told BBC News.The child also posted details about where she lives and attends school. People started contacting her asking for more pictures and sending her sexually charged messages, Carmichael told the news agency.The girl's father shut down her account, but she just opened a new one.Facebook requires users to be at least 13, but doesn't have any method of checking a person's age.
"My own personal view is that Facebook isn't suitable for under-18s, but the company isn't even able to uphold its own policy of keeping under-13s out," said the lawyer. "An age check, like asking for a passport number, would be a simple measure for Facebook to implement."

East 36th Street

What-Councillor lulls drunks with lollipops


Very strange drunks with lollipops..

You might not be able to change the world by giving people free candy, but a city councillor in Victoria says it's a good place to start.When the bars closed on Canada Day this year, Charlayne Thornton-Joe and her colleagues handed out 11,000 lollipops to people on the streets in an effort to curb the violence and vandalism that accompanies big celebrations.
Although she has no academic study to prove it, she says it worked."Of course, there's no scientific evidence for this, but the four of us who handed them out saw the effects right away," she said.She came up with the idea while working on two city committees: One dedicated to Canada Day celebrations and the other to deal with late-night, alcohol-fuelled crime.
"One of the problems that we continue to struggle with is people who come down and see it not as a time to celebrate respectfully, but as a time, basically, to party," she said. "It tends to be young males who get overly intoxicated and overzealous and we tend to deal with things like fights and vandalism and it keeps our police busy later on Canada Day."
