I’m all for a some accountability. It’s difficult to balance the openness of the interweb and services like Myspace with civil liberties and expensive tracking and identification schemes.

Uhhh yeah, I’m sure an offender wouldn’t know how to get another e=mail address. Seriously, I sometimes think these politicians are living in la la land. The FCC clamps down on Howard Stern, so he goes to Sirius and is more obscene then ever. I wish we could go back to a part time legislature so they could quit passing laws to fix the previous laws that screwed things up in the first place. OK I’m rambling now ;)

Technological answers to complex problems are actually no answers. These measures don’t attack the core of the problem and as long as users keep posting porn, girls promote their webcams (probably just the adult operators themselves using a cover) and spammers keep creating profiles to further their cause no regulation or law in the world will be able to stop making myspace a playground for stalking people.

If sex offenders carry a GPS tag within themselves -even if as a temporary punishment- they will surely think twice about their attempts to reach out whether their email address have been posted at a registrar or not.

P.S. This plugin to add comments is sooo cool!
