Paedophiles to be banned from using social network sites like Facebook and Bebo

The latest news reports that Paedophiles could be banned from social network sites like Facebook and Bebo, known convicted Paedophiles should not be allowed to use these sites full stop.

This new measure has been introduced by the Government and that registered sex offenders will indeed be monitored online as well as police being able to pass on their email addresses to social network sites.

This is all part of the Home Office taskforce on online child protection and they say that there are indeed fears that paedophiles are masquerading as young people and could possibly be grooming future victims.

We all know for example that Facebook allows you to put personal details on profiles such as phone numbers, email addresses and so forth, it all seems pretty easy for Paedophiles to find their next victim.

What are you views about Paedophiles using social network sites, and are you making sure that your children are not putting detailed information on these sites?

Official Update: Sony say sorry for the Network Hack and PS3 Vulnerability

As reported earlier on today about the PS3 Vulnerability and Network Hack which left weaknesses found on their PSN system (See Here), Sony have officially said sorry.

Sony officially Apologizes for the PS3 Vulnerability and Network Hack, we deserve more than just an apology because this should never have happened.

Hackers who discovered a way to hack into the system where they could access PSN accounts is terrible because not only can they change passwords they can also use peoples credit, thank god the hackers cannot access credit card information or use Visa cards because that could have been mayhem.

A new patch closing down this exploitation should be released pretty soon. A word of warning please try and access your PSN account just to make sure no one has changed your password.

More information can be found via JP Playstation.com (in Japanese though, sorry).

Sony Playstation 3 Network (PSN) Offline: PS3 users unhappy

We all know there has to be updates and when its not possible to keep everything online we have to have downtime, but when gamers in the UK come home from work or school today and want to play games on their Sony Playstation 3, its not going to happen. They will be given the message, use of the Playstation Network has been suspended and to new people that means an update.

In this case the PSN is getting a big update, well in time scare that is, thanks to being offline from 15:00 BST to 20:10 BST. You will have no access to the Playstation store on your Sony PS3, and more upsetting is the result of no online gaming over PSN.

What I cannot understand as a PS3 owner and also other people I know have mentioned the same, is why are they updating in the busy time of gaming when they could of done this update in the middle of the night or early hours when the UK is sleeping.

I am happy that the PSN is getting an update, and even happier if this includes some really cool extra features that could be heading to a PS3 2.40 firmware and maybe even stability for Home. Just trying to work out why the PSN in the UK could not be taken offline when the UK is sleeping.

Unless this is an update to the PSN around the whole world, now that is very unlikely. When we get to around 20:10 BST you should be able to sign in and use the Playstation Network as normal, we will update you on any changes we see (if any).

Do you think the time of this PSN downtime could have been planned better?
