Hey everyone and welcome to Edition 8 of The JukeBox.
Tonight, I am bringing you something from the 80’s. A song that was featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
CVG created a GTA playlist of songs that appeared in the game and this song was in it, so why not. Let’s put on The JukeBox 😀
Welcome back to Edition 7 of The JukeBox! I hope you are doing very well.
Again…It’s another 90’s song. Absolutely brilliant when it was released and still is to this day.
…Especially Senator Eamon Coghlan
The following article in this post is from this Irish Examiner article
An Oireachtas Committee has heard that getting people to pay to post on social media websites or register their passport numbers for IP addresses could help tackle the issue of anonymity of the internet.
Senator Eamon Coghlan made the suggestions as the committee examined the link between social media and cyber bullying.
He raised the issue of anonymous posts, and had a number of suggestions for tackling the issue, including paying to post and registering your passport number:
Speaking at the same Committee, the Communications Minister Pat Rabbitte said he has difficulties with the take-down policies of companies like Facebook.
Mr Rabbitte said: “These are reputable companies (and) major corporations. Good corporate citizenship should mean, it seems to me, that they should be prepared in the host country to enter into sensible protocols about take-down policy.”
The Oireachtas Communications Committee is embarking on a series of meetings with companies, like Facebook and Twitter, to examine the links between social media and cyber bullying.
Communications Minister Pat Rabbitte told the Committee that his department is examining any gaps in legislation when it comes to posting defamatory material online.
He also raised concerns about the policies used by social media companies when it comes to taking down offensive posts.
Senator Fidelma Healy Eames raised the issue of when someone’s Facebook account is changed by someone else, and said teenagers are literally living in a parallel universe.
She said: “Where a youngster has their status opened and another person puts a message on there, as if they wrote it, and that message could be, for example sexual. This type of thing has to stop.
“There has to be some controls put here. What about sexting, where they are texting sexual images?”
The Committee will continue its hearings on the issue for a number of days before making a series of recommendations.
Hang on a second here…Paying to post on Facebook? I know Facebook has a thing where you can pay Mark Zuckerburg $100 to send him a message but THIS…this is ridiculous.
“Pay to post on social media websites or register their passport numbers for IP addresses could help tackle the issue of anonymity of the internet.”
Hello folks!
In December 2011, I launched a new site known as Gamers And Geeks and at the time, I also created the Gamers and Geeks Network!
Because of how bad Gamers and Geeks went, I have decided to make a few changes around here to better organise everything.
Introducing, the “Padraig Fahy Network”. This network is saying that this is MY network and anything under it is part of me (essentially).
There is currently 3 websites under the network and they are:
A site has bitten the dust, and therefore been deactivated from the PFN. That site is:
Each site is listed in order of priority working top-down.
I hope that this year, we can expand just one of these sites by bringing in new content, people and hopefully more!
2013 is the year for PFN and I hope that you are all ready for it J
