Mousetrap Technology - Times Online - WBLG: Don't blame the internet for murder
-
It plays on fears that the online world has a life of its own: a swarming, seething dangerous life that could spill over into the offline world bringing mayhem and violence.
-
when something terrible happens, like a college massacre or a murderous feud, any connection with the internet is seen as evidence of violence erupting from the online world into the “real” world. And since the internet is, at heart, a growing network of connections, a growing proportion of bad things are connected to it, alongside a growing proportion of good things.

Flaws in YouTube gangster video vetting exposed - Times Online
-
“There used to be a set of guidelines for material that was unacceptable, that
was hate speech, pornography and violence or threats against a particular
person. What we realised was that the type of videos that cause so much
concern in Britain wasn’t caught under those guidelines so, as a result of
listening to people’s concerns, we’ve decided to include brandishing of
weapons and non specific threatening behaviour. We’re in a new era now where
that kind of video is classed as unacceptable and will be removed in future.” -
According to research by Nielsen Online, YouTube is the fourth most popular
website among British children, visited by 590,000 two to 11-year-olds every
month and a further one million children aged 12 to 17. - 3 more annotations...

Xbox's 'Braid' A Surprise Hit, For Surprising Reasons : NPR
Existential Video Game- LOVE it.
-
The game, Braid, is less shoot-'em-up than meditation on the meaning of life — and within six days, it had been downloaded more than 50,000 times. Game critics are calling it a masterpiece. Braid feels like a game that a grown-up can play, and that a grown-up perhaps ought to play.
-
Braid pulsates with feelings of loss, loneliness and longing — which means that in creating it, Blow has violated one of the cardinal rules of game-making: that games have to be fun.

Video: YouTube treads fine line over Finnish gunman video -Times Online
YouTube makes moral decision to remove videos posted by Finnish gunman
-
But those searching for the videos found a message stating: “This video has
been removed due to terms of use violation. -
It seems that YouTube has decided that videos showing the killer were
offensive and should not be viewed. But that is a moral decision, based
presumably on the hindsight that this man and this pistol were involved in
real killings - 7 more annotations...
