Maybe you feel the same way too. I am leading a campaign asking Mark Zuckerberg to remove Honesty Box from his Facebook site. Please help me by posting your comments on ReallyWorried I'll make sure your voice is heard at Facebook HQ.

Blame your friends for being bullies, not the tool. @Teresa - I always say exactly that: Honesty Box is a tool, but it’s people’s friends that use it.

It only allows private, anonymous notes to the user who has installed the application. Also, the allegations that Honesty Box somehow "causes" cyberbullying are utterly bogus. Cyberbullying was a problem before Honesty Box came along and it will be a problem until people can get children to stop being cruel to one another, no small feat. Technology doesn't bully people, people bully people. Just as a point of fact, Honesty Box doesn’t allow you to leave an anonymous note on someone’s wall.

That's what they got. There is no problem here. There is only so far that you can go to protect someone from themselves. I'm actually surprised to learn that Honesty Box has as many safeguards as it has. It also annoys me that we can't comment on the Telegraph article. All web articles should allow comments, because there's always another side of the story that journalists miss (or deliberately ignore so as to sensationalise a story). Instead hundreds or thousands of parents will read that article, and not knowing any better they will think that Facebook is condoning online bullying.
