The website Facebook has announced that it will allow a "panic button" application on its social networking website. After months of negotiation between Ceop (UK Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre) and Facebook, the social network agreed to install the application on its home page to say that "they are in control online". Pressure mounted on the Facebook website after Ashleigh Hall, a 17-year-old was murdered by a 33-year-old convicted sex offender posing as a young boy on the Facebook website. Bebo was the first social network website to add the button to its web page. Myspace followed suite, but Facebook resisted at first because they thought their reporting system was sufficient. Facebook received a letter backing Ceop's request for a panic button with the signature of forty-four police chiefs in England, Wales and Scotland. Both sides seem pleased with this outcome because it ultimately will provide a safer environment online for users.
