On another note I know what OF1975 means about safari being ugly been trying it out recently, it isn't actually too bad a browser though.

In short yes he could. This question was asked at the PIA meeting on tuesday .

And it would appear from the blustering by Kent Ertegrul that the is no way to stop this happening.

I assume he think that the only way children should be allowed on the net is if their parents turn the computer on for them and start the browser session for them!
