SVT’s consumer program for children and young people, “Rea”, has sent out a text message to their mobile reporters with a link to a porn movie.
– The link led to a page with a short movie that is not appropriate for children, says Sabina Rasiwala on SVT’s press department.
SVT’s consumer program for children and young people, “Rea”, has sent out a text message to their mobile reporters with a link to a porn movie.
– Our daughter had no own phone when registering as a mobile reporter, so the message came to my phone. I’m glad she did not see it, but I can imagine that many yet seen it without having asked for it, says one who is a parent of a 12 year old mobile reporter, told DN.
The link to the porn video sent to 66 children, some of whom sms went to the children’s parents. The filmed sequence shows two men having intercourse with the headline “Gay sex is the answer.”
Error link sent
This error occurred when the “Sale” would send a request to their mobile reporters if they wanted comment on a specific issue.
This week was the question of one’s favorite ice cream. With the text message was also sent a link to a deregistration site – if you do not want to continue in the program.
– We would shorten the link to a URL shortening tool and it became imprinted too quickly. An “f” at the end of the address fell away and led to a shut down page with a short movie that is not appropriate for children, says Sabina Rasiwala on SVT’s press department.
SVT quickly called all involved and explained what had happened.
“Will not happen again”
– We sent a new SMS to everyone and then we called all the parents and explained what had gone wrong. Of course, this does not have to happen, says Sabina Rasiwala.
SVT says the tab depends on the human factor.
There are no plans to change the URL to the deregistration side – to prevent the mistake can happen again.
– No, we will not do. We will be meticulous and careful to send the right link now says Sabina Rasiwala.
“Exposed on the Internet”
The parent DN’ve talked to directed no criticism of the program, but wants rather highlight how vulnerable you are on the Internet.
– A letter or number wrong and you could end up completely wrong way accidentally. We have to discuss how they can become less vulnerable and have a healthy Internet use, says parent DN.
