This story has been running for a couple of days.


Basically, the Daily Mail ran a screamer of a piece claiming that Facebook made it easy for paedophiles to approach under age girls. Trouble is, the source for the story says that the website involved wasn't Facebook, and now Facebook are threatening to sue.
So what should the punishment be for newspapers like the Mail who, according to their source, deliberately misrepresent the truth?
Exactly the same as when the Guardian do exactly the same....they are all guilty of it at some stage.
Social networking sites do attract paedophiles.
Why not google non sequitur?
How about this one?

All the bloody same and the Guardian are no different!
Oh well......... lol :lol:

That’s an easy one, compo, big time for the aggrieved party plus the offending rag should print an apology in the same place and with the same type setting as the original story, and for good measure they could even run it for the same time......
I know I'm old fashioned, but I get very, very annoyed by all of this.
- it's the responsibility of parents to explain to, and be responsible for children in life. Letting them use a computer for hours without a care is like putting them out like the cat to play in public places.
Parents shouldn't expect website operators and others to be responsible for their children.
Plim :sad:

Yes what should the punishment be for distorting the truth I wonder?

Of course their lawyer was furious and he has every right to appeal,sorry Flower its frustration sometimes trying to do 6days work in 4 to obtain a long easter weekend!

Over to you as a decent subject.
Each publication could be forced to produce a second 'run' at the same interval (daily, weekly etc) as the original publication. The difference would be, the second one contains only corrections, withdrawals and reports of judgments against the publishers.
Any bets that it would be thicker than the original for many of them? LOL
Thats a jolly good idea foxy.
I would settle for retractions being given front page prominence.
The ammount of retractions you would be asking for on a daily basis, would stretch to page six. lol :lol: :lol:
