Muggle Interwebby Invades Magical World! A Rita Skeeter Expose
Extra! Extra! Read Allllll About It!
Dear Readers, the most dastardly distressing issue has recently been brought to the attention of Yours Truly. I sit here, my golden curls gleaming upon my elegant head, quill in hand, wondering if I dare even mention such a horrible thing, but I simply must, Loyal Fans. To ignore this tragedy in our world would be a high irresponsible act
I am speaking, my dears, of the fact that the muggle electronic computer phenomenon called the Internet. Scores of unsuspecting, respectable wizarding parents have no idea that their sons and daughters are secretly exploring the darker aspects of muggle culture, by using a curious electronic box that connects them to virtually every single stranger in the entire world.
This Interwebby, according to Ministry experts, is much like leaving the Floo Gateway in your living room unlocked and open for virtually anyone to drop by and invade your privacy. By using curious Muggle devices called chat rooms and instant messaging (not unlike our Communication Charms), your children could be bypassing your home security wards and inviting Dark Wizards to Apparate into their bedrooms.
Could times grow any darker?
Our children and families are unsafe, and I, for one, would like to see a complete Ministry investigation. Naturally, the fools at the Ministry would like to brush this issue under the table, the way they have ignored the return of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, and until then, I feel it is my duty as a patriotic witch, to direct you to the excellent resource list, provided by my friends at harrypotterfanfiction.com -- Staying Safe From Online Predators.
For more tips on keeping your family safe, and preventing Dark Wizards from utilizing this dangerous bit of Muggle technology to menace your families and make your homes unsafe, please join us Thursday, August 17th, from 7 – 9 PM GMT, in the chat room. Del Harvery of Perverted Justice will be our special guest, discussing online safety. (Regular Readers may recall that Yours Truly had the honor of being present at a special interview with Del herself!)
Be safe, Gentle Readers. You are all very precious to Yours Truly, and it would break my hard little heart if anything happened to any of you. Be safe, be cautious, and be SMART.
