Microsoft and CEOP team up on customised IE8

rss.feedsportal.com

Microsoft has launched a special version of IE8 along with the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre that offers embedded advice, help and report services.
Customised browsers are far from uncommon, but the laudable efforts of CEOP on the internet makes Microsoft's latest effort worth consideration.
The CEOP-customised IE8 browser has a 'clear and direct' route to CEOP with a special button and is available from www.clickceop.net/ie8.
Jim Gamble CEO of CEOP said: "Internet safety advice needs to be at your fingertips and not hidden away. Parents and children should not have

Ahh...Let the fear mongering begin. You know everytime you get on-line some perv is going to try to have sex with you or your children.

Blah....How about you watch your children or even better don't let them use the net for scandalous behavior. If I ever caught my daughter sexting or sending lewd pics of her self across the net I'd go to jail for breaking her fingers. It's not always a perv that instigates sexual exploitation believe it or not sometimes our own children are the instigators. It's tempting to anyone teens and adults alike. JUST WATCH YOUR CHILDREN and KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. "And Knowing is half the battle"

Uh, yeah, because it's SO EASY to know exactly what they're up to at all times and since your children are stupid there is no possible way they could know how to hide their online activity. :shk:

A good parent always knows what there children are up to at all times.

They don't have to hide on-line activity if you use procedures that are out there that blocks access to some things. Even if they can block activity you as a parent should be smart enough to find out what they are doing, even blocked Internet activity is traceable. YOU just have to be a smarter parent.


Oh And BTW: I really hope you were not being a "Donkey" and calling my children stupid.

When I read this part..

Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre

I said out loud. OHHH NOOO!!!

Then i thought oh wait.. I'm using a "really good" version of XP and FF.. I dont do updates and I dont use IE at all..

So they can add whatever they want to thier crap, I dont plan on changing my OS any century soon unless it says (bla bla)Linux on it.

From the article this is not an mandatory update or even a update at all. It's a special build you can download from www.clickceop.net/ie8.


I for one will not be downloading it. Heck I don't even use ie8

It is impossible to know what your child is up to every second of the day.

Every second they are not in your line of sight they could be doing absolutely anything... whether you like it or not if a child wants to look at pornography they will, and if they want to send picture of themselves to other people they will. It's human nature...everything in our body is telling us to do it, so we will do everything we can to be able to do it.

No matter how good a parent you feel you are, unless you intend to lock your child in a padded room they will find a way. There are ways around internet blocks, ways on the internet when you arn't nearby, way onto the internet at friends houses or at school.

Once a child gets the urge, it's near impossible to stop them...and you probably shouldn't be anyway. The moment your child gets the urge to look at pornography you should let them because if they can't watch porn they're more likely to go further in real life... And I'd rather my child was looking at pornography than having sex too young.

People still use IE?

Lol I could care less what Microsloth does with their excuse of a web browser since I use Firefox.

I cant stand all these excuses all these parents are making. example "if your child is not in you line of site" bla bla. Sure children are going to sneak around. Why make it easy. Move the computer out of the computer room and into the living room and put into your line of site. All of you excuse making parent are the first to scream foul play when its your children playing the roll of instigator. Get off easy blame the other person. Step up and start taking responsibility.

I agree.. there are too many parents in this world that have their head
implanted firmly up their own arse and dont notice what the kids are doing..

I personally reefer to it as the 'not my kid' syndrome.. 8-D

and yea,,, who uses IE anyway.. :-p

Uh, no I wasn't calling your children stupid - that was called sarcasm. But I do think you are WAY out of touch. For example, your quote:

"Blah....How about you watch your children or even better don't let them use the net for scandalous behavior."

It's just that easy huh? You might as well say "Just don't let your kids drink and drive" or "Just don't let your kids be bullies at school" or "Just don't let your kids misbehave at all".

I'm saying there's no possible way you can know everything they are doing at all times and you should never assume that your kids don't know how to hide their tracks online. Services like the one Microsoft is offering is attempting to help with the problem and here you are criticizing them for it.

I dunno, maybe you're just a Microsoft hater.

I'm not a parent, I'm 17...Im just finishing being the child...

So no I am not making any excuses for myself, I am telling the truth. As soon as you can't see your child they will find a way to do wahtever it is they want on a computer.

So you move the computer into the living room....what about when you are at work and your child gets home from school? What about when you are out? What about when you are asleep? These are all great times for a child to get on the computer, and all methods I myself have used.
