Well, looks like we're renaming Friday to Linkday, but I guess I've got to give you guys something to do over the weekend while I'm relaxing with boat-drinks. This one's on the serious side, but I think it's required reading given the recent debates in our forum over censorship, and the ongoing concerns of certain sectors of the community over online child pedophilia rings. Like I said, this is a very serious topic.

UK tech-news site The Register recently posted a story where they investigate just how easy (or not) it is to find these 'communities' online, and while some of the results are truly shocking, the manner in which The Register has approached the topic is to be commended. If you want to see a great piece of online journalism, then this is definitely the best I've seen in a while. It's the first part of a continuing investigation, so keep an eye on the site for more installments.
