Facebook has caved into Government pressure and finally agreed to install a 'panic button' app. All facebook users between 13-18 will see a message encouraging them to download the 'ClickCeop' button. When installed, users can click the CEOP link which allows them access to the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre, where they can then report abuse or receive advice on staying safe online.
"Our dialogue with Facebook about adopting the ClickCeop button is well documented -- today however is a good day for child protection," said CEOP chief executive, Jim Gamble. "By adding this application, Facebook users will have direct access to all the services that sit behind our ClickCeop button which should provide reassurance to every parent with teenagers on the site."
