Daily Mail correction over Facebook paedophiles mix-up

By Dominic wireposts

The Daily Mail today published a correction on page four after wrongly stating in a feature that a user of Facebook posing as a 14-year-old girl was quickly targeted by sexually motivated messages.

The Mail says: “In fact he had used a different social networking site.”

More in detail on this from technology experts Charles Arthur at The Guardian and Rory Cellan Jones at the BBC.
