this is a bit biased to me? and if your stupid to get naked on camera then you deserve every thing you get

and ive never experienced this because i've always been a vip sure we share pics of our face and stuff but its never caused trouble for me? what do you think and the line at the bottom of the page "Channel four news has passed the findings of the investigation to the goverment"has sparked a few rumors about habbo getting shut down? what do you think?
Ps. sorry my report wasn't very good i'm not ment to be a news reporter

This isn't new, and this isn't unique to Habbo. Anyone with internet access can get on chatsites and games, all of which give one the freedom to experiment with social situations from the relative safety of their computer screens. Teens are always going to want to act in certain ways, and while it's possible for these things to go too far and involve the wrong people it is round for round far better that it happens in this way than sneaking out and actually involving themselves with older persons in the flesh. People making poor choices on a specific platform is not the fault of that platform

Won't be shut down and I'm really peeved at this specifically being targeted to Habbo. It happens all across the internet and these sites remain open, I'd image especially in online dating sites cybersex occurs (even though you have to be 18+ for most

) and most other virtual worlds aren't innocent either.

Tbh, it's more disgraceful seeing a 15 yr old girl post a nude image of herself on facebook (yes someone at our school did that) than for someone to have cybersex on Habbo. Facebook just happen to deal with the issue quicker because they've got a bigger workforce and more people are likely to be disgusted by an image as opposed to text on Habbo. As for people who take their cyber sex on Habbo to MSN, well that's just ridiculous and not Sulake's fault tbh (they can't filter hotmails anymore :S - people just type it seperately, so unless they decide to filter the @ key, not gonna happen).

basically, they won't be shut down lol. Happens across the internet and it's just something we all have to face sometimes. (Somehow).

Channel 4 (104 sky, 004/4 digital/freeview) at 7pm. It's on their news I believe

'TIS WHAT THE ADVERT SAID ANYWAY. If it's not, then it can't be on anywhere else tonight - all other c4 tonight is embarassing bodies or some other random stuff.
