The article quotes someone as saying: "This is allowing sites like MySpace to avoid the responsibility to make the Internet safe for children." What are they smoking? Do they *really* think that it is even remotely possible for the Internet to be totally safe for children? The world itself is not safe for children, why should the internet be any different? What about the *parents'* responsilbility to keep the child safe? I don't get it. -- The HarmyBoard HarmDrive

[> [> You get it JJ, it's the parents who let their kids have webcams in their bedrooms, who don't. A lot of people still don't understand the internet, and how it's available world wide, under so many jurisdictions. It's not going to go away. People can't let the computer be a "baby-sitter" like they've let tv become. Teenagers, particularly, are at risk. -- Cece, 09:47:57 02/24/07 Sat [1]
