Is it just in the UK that people are increasingly unwilling or unable to take responsibility for their actions, or for their failure to educate their own children?!

Yes, protect the children and all that, but where's the common sense? Unless this is shoddy reporting by Sky, the idea of a panic button mechanism shows amazing ignorance of the internet and its ways by the Home Sec (now, there's a surprise!).

As always, the government seem to get everything completely wrong with regards to technology.

Certainly not shoddy reporting by Sky, in my opinion. The headline was even spoken with slight irony on TV. haha.
