Disappointed children - Government and Media are
law-breakers!
When children themselves take charge and try to protect
their on-line privacy, key businesses and official
organizations fail to help them. 10th-graders from Brunla
School in Larvik, Norway, have used the Internet to claim
disclosure of the use of their personal information.
Neither TV Companies, Governmental oversight bodies, nor
any of the cabinet parties responded.

Schlag gegen Kinderpornografie in Tauschbörsen
Ein Zusammenschluss aus verschiedenen Ermittlungsbehörden
unter der Leitung des FBI verkündete vergangenen Freitag
den erfolgreichen Schlag gegen Anbieter
kinderpornografischer Inhalte in P2P-Netzen. Ermittlungen
in etwa 1000 Fällen führten zur Durchsuchung von 340
Computern und bisher zur Festnahme von 65 Personen. Die
Aktion, federführend vom FBI durchgeführt, lief bereits
seit Herbst 2003 unter dem Decknamen "Peer Pressure".
Seither haben Mitarbeiter der Ermittlungsbehörden gezielt
Tauschbörsen infiltriert, um Anbieter kinderpornografischer
Inhalte ausfindig zu machen. Erst Ende April waren im Zuge
einer anderen Aktion mehr als 160 Kunden einer
einschlägigen Website verhaftet worden.
 http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/47403

Keine fristlose Kündigung bei Aufruf von Pornoseiten im
Internet
Wer am Arbeitsplatz Internetseiten mit pornografischen
Inhalten aufruft, darf nicht ohne weiteres fristlos
entlassen werden. Das entschied das Landesarbeitsgericht
(LAG) Rheinland-Pfalz in Mainz in einem am Donnerstag
veröffentlichten Urteil. Der Mitarbeiter müsse zunächst
abgemahnt werden. Erst wenn die Abmahnung keinen Erfolg
habe, stehe fest, dass sich der Vertrauensbruch nicht mehr
beheben lasse.
