If you don’t watch your childrens computer activity on a regular basis, they may expose themselves to serious harm or worse. With online predators & Cyber Bullying running rampant it’s time parents took back the protection of their kids before it’s to late!

Additionally, their cute little counter labels all registered sex offenders as "predators". I hope that each non-predatory, non-violent person caught up in this Stalinesque purge sues MySpace for libel.

(And wow, I should read the date on articles before commenting. Better two and a half years late than never?)

I wonder if it's legal for MySpace to have done that. The sex offender registry in my state clearly states that it's for public awareness only and not to be used to retaliate or punish offenders in any way.

Since I find MySpace a WasteOfSpace, I sort of hope they get sued out of existence over this or something else.

Everyone is too afraid to be themselves online, because of a "Dateline Effect". Instead of
doing pages, sites, blogs, etc., alot of people assume that the Internet is a toy, or a place
that is for being fake or perverted... Whatever happened to bringing normal behavior to
the Internet?!

As a Lawyer for close to 15 years I have seen many cases involving internet predators. Many are true dangers, some are not and are simply entrapped by police.
