I read this in the paper the other day. Its not really a big issue, most of these problems can be fixed by adding in some more laws and rules to the virtual world.

 

Everything can be fixed. But are they going to do it?

 

Clampdown on the internet coming soon to a country near you

 

Its a virtual game for crying out loud roker. I'm all for relaxing what people tell me I can and can't do but this isn't a website which contains facts and figures or knowledge the government don't want us to have, its a game being exploited by criminals.

 

pedephillia is the trojan horse of the internet clampdown that and my space youll see

 

Its not a peadaphilia issue on second life, its a money laundering one. Maybe you should have read some articles on it.

 

Second life is a perfect target for this as it won't require too much hard work on the part of the criminal - even if there is a clamp down what is stopping a person having multiple accounts, and creating a web through which they can transfer the money?

Same goes for any MMPOG that uses real money.
