Nothing makes this venture seem more like a farce than an Australian TV channel telling kids to put personal information online in a letter to Santa.
Until government takes steps to make this sort of thing illegal, any 'child protection' filters are pointless.
Governemnt deserves some of the blame for this with agencies like Centrelink and the Family Assistance Office encouraging clients to keep their personal information updated online.
It's obvious that if 'child protection' were so important, Government could find a lot of ways to implement it before they lower their sights onto my internet speed.
As another blogger implied - if you are so keen to parent my kids, how about you buy their food, clothes and school supplies for them, drive them to extra-curricular events, take them shopping and make sure they get to school on time?
