The nanny state strikes again.

The vast majority of children are perfectly safe using the internet. The cases of children being "groomed" over the internet and then harm coming to them is exceedingly rare.

As usual this is just a fuss about nothing and who's going to end up bearing the brunt of it? The children they are seeking to "protect" of course.

Why can't they just issue a set of guidelines and then leave it at that and keep their noses out of other people's business?

It's the end of the world as we know it!

Glad to read that the workshop is not just for one person as headline indicates.
