I said it many times, Technology in general and the web 2.0 in particular is changing the way we do things, but in most cases it mimic our "old world" needs and desires.
Unfortunately, those needs are sometimes very dark things.
I highly recommend watching this incredible report of Sky News about Second Life pedophilia.
Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not one of those people that think we should close all virtual worlds and limit user generated content. I think virtual worlds (including Second Life) are simply amazing and could be used for great things.
The problem we are facing is how to take the system of laws and order we established in the real world for thousands of years and use it also in the digital world.
Worse, it's not just making laws, it is also about creating special enforcement units that understand this world. It's about educating thousands of judges, lawyers, police officers and more...
