Brit ISPs censor Wikipedia over 'child porn' album cover

Chris Cox

Sigh...

I'm with Demon, the link in the story works fine, so if it's being filtered, they're not doing a very good job!

However, whilst I agree that there should be very strict laws to provents any form of abuse, nudity in itself isnt a crime, and this reminds me of stories like the newsreader who got arrested for taking pictures of her daughter in the bath etc. A sense of perspective is required, and effort should be put into abuse, not censoring 30 year old album covers

Dixons Group still suffering

Wrong

"in how to be annoying trying to sell overpriced Extended Cover?? (well they get more comission on that)"

For all DSG/PC World failings, they DO NOT get any commission on sales or extended cover.

What you do get is daily bollockings from management for not meeting the target though

Malicious gossip could cost you your job

Extra police info...

In addition, the separate section of the Disclosure IS NOT given to the person being disclosed, so any "background" information that the Police provide and employers see, the employee DOES NOT see.

Now if thats not unreasonable...

Sales slide at PC World, Currys

Unhappy

Pay peanuts, get monkeys

It's not surprising. Minimum wage, horrid shifts, working all weekend, many stores having to employ people from eastern europe who can't speak english properly due to the wages, overpriced on almost all peripherals/accessories, bad reputation for customer service - the list is endless (and I'm a former employee!)

PC World could sort out the majority of its problems by making it a realistic career - i.e. decent pay and better hours for a start, to attract and retain better staff. Most of my ex colleagues couldn't give a shit any more because of the way they are treated, and that will rub off on their customer service.

Undervalued staff will bring down ANY business, no matter how many years it has been around. Arrogant management will do the same.
