Facebook panic button

A panic button does not solve the root cause: human stupidity.

This.

Parents need to stop blaming other people, realise its their fault for not raising their kid properly. We live in the real world, if your kid is not prepared to deal with it, then that is your fault.
You don't make a bacon sandwich without bacon then bitch and blame others when it's a complete failure.
 
As far as I'm concerned the issue is the users, not the site itself. I don't have anyone on facebook that I haven't previously met. If someone I don't know adds me I ignore them. It really is simple but then lots of people seem to think it's great to have hundreds of 'friends' so will add anyone. :rolleyes:
 
Isn't facebook supposed to be 18+ anyway? How about enforcing that instead? The amount of kids on there is stupid, and only ends in trouble one way or the other.
 
I thought it meant a panic button that you could click when your boss was coming to make the page look work related.

Thr real thing here is that kids WILL press that button every day. It will be the most abused button on the internet. I guarantee they will get their friends to press the button on every teacher, kids they do not like, parents they do not like. People they think look 'creepy'. Will we see Panic Button convictions? How far will this go if it was implemented?

Yep, I can see the button being abused as you have said. Isn't this "panic button" (such a poor name for it) already being used on other social networking sites like bebo?
 
It's stupid, when you turn up to meet that tenage boy who's turned out to be a 40 year man you're hardly going to nip home to press the panic button.

They will however press it every time they're called a name.

There are much bigger issues here mostly steming from parents who don't seem to take an interest in what their kids are up to. Although in many situations this comes from the rise in house holds where either both parents work or there is only one parent.
 
To be honest a 17 year old girl falling for a stunt like that is pretty stupid, you think at that age you would know the risks, If they were 12-16 then maybe I would understand what all the fuss was about,

Maybe facebook should implement a feature where anyone under the age of 16 needs to have friend requests approved by a parent, not sure how they would implement this but if it was possible it would be great, then again most parents couldn't care less what their kids are viewing online, and wouldn't bother with the feature

Some parents really annoy the crap out of me
 
Seems like Jim Gamble, the head of CEOP is pushing ever harder for this to be implemented.

Funny that, it'll create loads of extra work for CEOP meaning he needs more staff and further justification for his own existence.

I don't even have Facebook, but I'd LOVE for this to be implemented. It'd generate tens of thousands of panic reports a week, maybe even a day - CEOP and the Police would be so swamped, it'd end up being removed after a few weeks.

Sadly, Facebook knows this, so they wont implement it.
 
This is being blown out of proportion. The "Panic" button will be nothing more than a "capture information about the current situation, chat logs, messages, etc and report them to a moderator."

I.e. it's an RTM for facebook.
