- David Cameron’s ban on porn in the UK in the interest of children is met with criticism based on a review of other country’s attempts to choose censorship first
- Techcrunch also weighed in, calling the ban in the UK “ridiculous”
- NEW STUDY: In other news, a recent study shows young people increased the amount of media they consumed by more than one hour and a half to almost 7½ a day between 2004 and 2009, which means teaching kids to use the Internet safely and responsibly is more important than ever
- And lastly, is Facebook still hip with teens? Facebook says yes, but a Pew Internet study says otherwise. A few perspectives:
- Facebook Q2 earnings comments
- Pew study on Teens and Social Media
See you next week!
