Congress May Add Record Requirements to MySpace 343
An anonymous reader writes "CNet is reporting that Congress may be working to extend the record retention requirements they're already working on for ISPs to social networking sites. Sites such as MySpace or FaceBook would be required to hold onto content access records for an unspecified length of time." From the article: "In those meetings, Justice Department representatives went beyond the argument that data retention was necessary to protect children--and claimed it would aid in terrorism investigations as well. During Wednesday's hearing, politicians also claimed that social-networking sites were not doing enough to verify that their users who claimed to be a certain age were telling the truth. (Recent news reports have said that sex predators are using MySpace and similar sites to meet up with teens.)"

Heck, I'm all for forcing MySpace to verify age and gender of every one with a profile. And clearly posting the true information on their page.
I'm tired of chatting up cute 14 y.o. girls who parents don't understand them, only to find out they are 54 y.o. male FBI agents. Come on MySpace, give a guy some warning!
