In a story I was just reading it would seem that MySpace is going to stop protecting sexual predators, and it is about time!
Under mounting pressure from law enforcement and parents, MySpace agreed Monday to take steps to protect youngsters from online sexual predators and bullies, including searching for ways to better verify users' ages.
The hugely popular online hangout will create a task force of industry professionals to watch over its operations, and other social-networking sites will be invited to participate.
The deal comes as sites such as MySpace and Facebook have grown exponentially in recent years, with teenagers making up a large part of their membership. This has created a new venue for sexual predators who lie about their age to lure young victims and for cyber bullies who send threatening and anonymous messages.
There should be no place where sexual predators can operate anylonger, and all citizens should do what we can to identify, ostracize and incarcerate these sub-humans!!
