MySpace may face legislative crackdown
Politicians on Tuesday accused MySpace.com and other social-networking sites of failing to protect minors from sexual predators and other malign influences and said a legislative crackdown may be necessary.
"MySpace.com has been a center of drug activity, of gang activity, and of Internet predators," said Rep. Mark Kirk, an Illinois Republican. "Isn't it entirely appropriate that the state get involved?"
This is a problem – we do not want the government to take over the Internet. If the government takes over, the Internet will never be the same.
What we need is for the parents to take more responsibility about what their kids are doing on the Internet. Most parents want to know where there kids are going when they leave the house but do not seem to care what they do on the Internet – makes no sense to me at all…...
