I saw this is the Londonpaper yesterday. You're quite right it is a dangerous application and I'm surprised Facebook allow it. Strange!

Richard's right. Would you allow your kids to have it? I doubt it very much.

It is not just kids that are on the recieving end, adults as well. As a result of a chat room I have been stalked by a woman in Hungary for 3 years and I am 66 severely disabled and in a wheelchair. She even sends letters thru the post no address so cannot stop it, changes emails as fast as you block them.

The Honesty Box - either one choses to add it to Facebook or not. So if one does not add it one does not receive messages?
Remove Honesty Box and don't get bullied.
Or did I misunderstand how it works?

The argument about removing the honesty box doesn't stand up - not when 10 year girls are receiving threatening messages and sending them thinking it is some kind of game and too afraid to tell their parents.
Come on Mark remove Honesty Box

Sounds like the modern day poison pen letter. I'm sure Facebook will take this down when they realise the ramifications.

I'm sorry, but are you kidding? The "Honesty Box" is something you yourself put on your Facebook page. It takes half a dozen clicks and several "do you want to do this?" style questions to do it.
If you don't want people to send you anonymous messages, simply don't put it there.
Anybody who wants to send anonymous messages to someone else can do so simply by using any of a number of on-line E-mail services.

You don't need to "remove" it, since it's not there when you get your account.
The only way you get an Honesty Box is if you yourself put it there, and it takes a lot of clicks to do so. Removing it takes just one or two clicks.

Hey Mark why put yourself in the firing line. If you're aware of the problems it's creating then help be the one to solve them. Isn't it a no brainer?

I think its Facebooks responsibilty not the developers. I'd have thought that Facebook wouldn't argue with that.
