Some Parents Worried Website Could Expose Children to Pedophiles

Filed in archive by Mark Brooks on April 22, 2005

RENO CHANNEL 4 NEWS -- Apr 18 -- Denise's daughterlinks is a middle
school student, but to Internet users she's a very different person.
"She put that she was 18, making $100,000 a year," on myspace.com.
Her daughter got a lot of responses from older men. The website
requires users to be over 18, but that hasn't stopped school students
from logging on. School officials say myspace.com is one of several
online networks they may seem fun to kids, but can make them easy
targets for Internet predators. "We got filtering software installed in
all the servers in schools, it automatically updates itself, we can add
a specific address which is what we did in this case." News 4 attempted
to reach myspace.com for comment, but did not get a response. FULL ARTICLE @ KRNV

Mark Brooks:
Sheesh, where to start with this one? MySpace does have a younger
audience. HotorNot also. But we can only do so much
policing. Of course, if everyone put down their credit cards we
could verify age quite easily. Freedoms vs infractions.
