Site for anonymous bullying reporting
Given the recent UCLA report on young people's reticence in reporting cyberbullying (see this), this is an interesting concept: a Web site that allows students to report said anonymously. So far the Utah-Based site, SchoolTipline.com, is being used by "six Utah schools and 48 schools in other states," the Salt Lake Tribune reports. The only concern is that the site could also be abused. Given also what we know of how kids have been known to abuse abuse-reporting in kid virtual worlds (see "Top 8 Read more...

Safe Eyes will offer “clip by clip” YouTube Filtering
I saw a segment on The Today Show on YouTube videos that encourage drug use. This segment highlights the new report from the White House Offices of National Drug Control Policy releasing information about children viewing videos online that teach them how to use drugs. After watching this I thought about how inadequate current filtering solutions are to address this problem. In every filter I’m aware of, you either have to block all of YouTube or allow it. Now Safe Eyes blogs about this Read more...

The Internet, Where No One is Under Eighteen
There are few incentives to give your real age out on the Internet, but even fewer if you are a minor. If you answer “under 18″ on an adult website you won’t be allowed in. If you answer “under 13″ on many sites like Amazon, YouTube and others you’ll be denied access. That’s why I had to chuckle when I read this article in The Onion. The headline reads: ‘I Am Under 18′ Button Clicked For First Time In History Of Internet Read more...

New Bill Requires Web Safety Curriculum
I’m elated. The U.S. Senate and the House have passed federal legislation that will require some schools to educate their students about online safety, sexual predators, and cyber bullying. The Broadband Data Improvement Act would apply to schools that receive e-Rate discounts on their telecommunications services and Internet access. Which, by the way, is just about every school on the planet. The bill will also require the Federal Trade Commission to launch a national public awareness prog Read more...

Clickjacking
Lately, the topic of clickjacking has gained popularity in discussions on the internet. It is a new type of web attack. I decided to find out what it’s all about.

In the video, Jeremiah Grossman & Robert “RSnake” Hansen reported this new vulnerability in a presentation titled “New Zero-Day Browser Exploits –ClickJacking”. I also found a demo of this vulnerability here. In the videos they describe only parts of the vulnerability, but i Read more...
