    Irish teenager's images ending up on porn sites.

    This could make for disturbing viewing.

    No, I'd say people have seen teenagers before. Some may even have been teenagers themselves at some stage, though they'll probably deny it now.

    Why the hell would teenagers be posting hardcore images of themselves on Facebook?

    Ya go on Nodin. Deny the existance of perverted child molesters preying on facebook images if it gets you a few thanks on here.

    Your comment has nothing to do with what is being covered on Prime Time right now.

    Bit mad. A program about privacy violations using screenshots and showing names of people!

    "This one teenager from South County Dublin, Nadine Barnes"

    Thanks RTE

    Privacy settings. Don't reveal details of yourself to anonymous people. Don't accept a randomers friend request. Crisis solved.

    The amount of scaremongering in this program is unreal.

    Innocent photographs of young girls here being used to advertise prostitution services abroad. Sick.


    Makes me wonder when I see friends of mine posting photos of their kids on facebook. Fuck knows where they could be ending up.

    Irish media doing that thing they never seem to get bored of which usually comes across as: "We are shocked to have discovered that the internet is full of unpleasant things and you should worry about your children".

    It will be followed on Tuesday by some gombeen backbench FF/FG politician calling for the government to ban D'internet.

    RTE a bit late on this one. BBCNI did the same show a few weeks back.

    The tone of the programme is a bit 'Brass Eye', isn't it?

    "One child was trapped online for a whole night and according to one psychologist, came away with the listless sexual appetite of a 60-year-old colonel."

    Loved the hushed tone horrified tone used to deliver the exif data bit. As if they'd actually need to use your exif data to find out who you are, when the pictures are ON your ****ing social media profiles.


    Christ, RTE piss me off with their usual luddite scare tactic ****.

    Alright, give me the instances where those measures would be ineffective then. I'm sorry, I'm a young person, I was in school when the internet was only just becoming a thing and we had it drilled into us to be careful online. People are educated. People KNOW not to accept friend requests from randomers, especially young girls. And yet they insist on doing it, when such a simple measure as setting your profile to "private" denies pretty much any randomer a view of your stuff.

    Brass eye tone notwithstanding, if this scares some dumb parents into educating their kids, it'll be a job well done. It's not like this isn't potentially a huge issue. Parents need to wake up a bit.

    "Online paedophiles can actually make your keyboard release toxic vapours that actually make you more suggestible."

    *sniffs keyboard*

    "Now I actually feel more suggestible. And that was just from one sniff."

    All we need now is the footage of the pedophile disguised as a school.

    Whats shocking is that there are so many people who still haven't copped on to the sinister side of the web.

    As I said, I find it questionable that so callet internet savvy people continue to post pics of their kids online.

    If the media do anything to highlight the dangers then what harm. Do people think Prime Time are making this up for a laugh?

    Well at least gombeen backbenchers have about as much influence and power as your average resident's committee member. Everyone knows they only speak to get their name mentioned in the local paper and no one takes them seriously.

    The "Teenage Girl" communicating with "Dean" was fictitious, they created a CGI profile pic and got some actual girls to friend her to make it seem a genuine account.

    Penpals are hardly the same as hundreds of Facebook friends.

    It was a pretty disturbing programme - not a load of silly Brasseye-esque scaremongering, which I personally loathe.
