WAZIRI MKUU WA UINGEREZA AELEZEA MATUMIZI YA FACEBOOK KWA WATOTO WAKE

David Cameron has said he will monitor what his children upload to Facebook (Picture: PA) David Cameron has said he will allow his children to have Facebook profiles when they are old enough but will monitor their activity on the site and what they share.
The prime minister revealed he would discuss the consequences of over-sharing on social media, suggesting posting pictures from holidays could come back to haunt his children in future job interviews.
Mr Cameron told Grazia magazine he and his wife Samantha had already spoken to their eldest daughter Nancy, nine, about the way in which women are portrayed in some sections of the media.
‘Nancy’s still quite young but we do [talk about the subject]. It’s just good advice about judging people by what they do and say and not how they look,’ he said.
The prime minister is in the process of pushing through a government crackdown on online pornography and spoke to the magazine about his concerns at the way in which children today were exposed to explicit material.
‘Porn has always been available, boys have always tried to get hold of top-shelf magazines, but this is happening much earlier,’ he said.
‘There are expectations about what sex is, about what relationships are, being altered by this stuff because children aren’t old enough to process it properly. That has a very corrosive effect: forming loving relationships is one of the most important things that can happen.’
He also said he wanted there to be a ‘national conversation’ about the trivialisation of sexual violence in some sections of society.

‘”Jokes” about race were told when I was a boy that are now completely unacceptable, and that’s right. There’s a national conversation that needs to happen about these things,’ Mr Cameron added.
Earlier this month, the prime minister announced online porn will be blocked by default to most households in the UK unless they choose to receive it.
The family-friendly filters will automatically block the adult content unless customers opt-out and only the account holder will be able to change the settings, while existing customers will have to make an ’unavoidable decision’ about installing the filters by the end of next year.
At the weekend, Microsoft’s Bing search engine announced users trying to search for illegal child abuse images will receive a ‘pop-up’ warning message informing them the content they are seeking is illegal and providing a link to a counselling service.
