A report published by the News Agency of Nigeria has suggested that the One Laptop Per Child computers are being misused as many of the computers have been found to have been used to browse pornography.
The laptops are also being used for the purpose for which they were given – education. Wayan Vota, an observer of the project, says that the story is either sensationalism or the reporter has personal issues with the project.
“No matter which, OLPC Nigeria reacted quickly and XO computers will now be fitted with filters. Porn surfing is not a technical problem… it’s a human nature issue addressed through a comprehensive cultural integration process,” he said.
