Congress Targeting Social Network Sites?
Declan McCullagh writes on C|Net News:
MySpace.com has recently found itself pummeled by critical media reports describing how teens are divulging personal information without much thought to the consequences.More here.
A Newsweek article in January was titled "Predator's Playground?" A Dateline NBC report last month warned that teens using MySpace--now part of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. and boasting some 80 million users--are not as safe "as they think."
Now MySpace and other social networking sites like LiveJournal.com and Facebook are facing a new threat: A proposed federal law that would effectively require schools and libraries to render those Web sites inaccessible to minors, an age group that includes some of the category's most ardent users.

Hm, but isn't MySpace turning itself around? I read recently that it's sharing public safety ads on its site with Ad Council and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. IT is making an effort.
