		<description><![CDATA[The US Federal Trade Commission recently released a  report about how online/virtual &#8216;worlds&#8217; protect underage children from  harmful or explicit images. They investigated the mechanisms these  companies put in place to ensure that children 13 and under did not  access &#8220;things they shouldn&#8217;t.&#8221;
Their first recommendation was to &#8220;&#8230;put in place more [...]]]></description>
