Whilst they actually seemed to have done their research on this one for once, and featured a few key stories, they never really had any revelations nor uncovered any truths... but then I fear that is ever the story with Panorama since it was trimmed down to a half-hour prime time slot.

 

It wasn't as offensive as the one about games being bad for you, at least!

I recorded this and have only just watched it. There are some very nasty people in this world and this program just goes to remind me why I do what I do with esafety

Was quite a good tour... wish they'd managed to convey the less extreme ubiquity a bit better though, and it was all weird blokes wot-done-it on camera which isn't obviously representatative. Definitely could have done without the Anonymous[tm] bloke who hung around with others who did some of the Jessie S stuff. [::spits on any half-wit with any associations with, or admiration for, that corner of cyberspace::]
