I’m a visual learning. I find charts and graphs an easier way to grasp unimaginable numbers. I think these charts do a good job, though focused mostly on EU and UK.

I’ve gotten several emails from menapat.org about the issue of child pornography on Facebook and, frankly, I just haven’t taken the time to read the articles and watch the video. I’m sick this morning, so I have time. I went to an article first: http://www.openthemagazine.com/article/international/the-man-who-wants-to-sue-facebook.

Please watch and do what you can.
