World's biggest paedophile ring bust

International police led by a UK team say they shut down the largest Internet paedophile ring yet discovered, according to the BBC.

The global forum had 70 000 followers at its height, leading to 4 000 intelligence reports being sent to police across 30 countries.

The operation has so far identified 670 suspects and 230 abused children. Detectives say 184 people have been arrested - 121 of them were in the UK. Sixty children have been protected in the UK.

Mozilla is prepping to ship the final version of its new Firefox 4 browser as soon as next week, reports News Factor.

UK culture minister Ed Vaizey has told a high-level meeting of Internet stakeholders that the government had no intention of implementing any regulations to enforce Internet neutrality, a source at the discussions said, notes V3.co.uk.

Those present at the meeting included Internet service providers (ISPs) TalkTalk and BT, telecoms regulator Ofcom, and major Web firms such as Facebook and Skype, which heard Vaizey repeat the government's position on this issue.

"Vaizey reiterated his stance that he feels Internet neutrality regulation is not required and Ofcom said it was a case of sitting tight and watching. BT and TalkTalk were largely left to bat for ISPs," the source said.
