Myspace removes nearly 30,000 sex offenders
This is pretty impressive, Myspace has managed to remove nearly 30,000 registered sex offenders from the website. I’m not quite sure, however, what keeps them from just creating new profiles under different names.
I found it humorous in the above-linked article how the writer tries to tie sex offenders to the rise of online pornography:
The MySpace sex offenders figure was released as pornography is flooding the American culture. According to comScore Media Metrix, more than a third of the U.S. Internet audience visited sites that fit into the online “adult” category. And 44 percent of males ages 18-34 say viewing pornographic material is morally acceptable, a 2006 Morality in Media study found.
