seriously... cyber vs IRL... where do these folks meet to have contact? a diner? walmart? mcdonalds? a movie?
if they did would it be the diner's fault for allowing a predator to chat with a minor? can we blame the RIAA if they saw a movie together before breaking the law?
myspace like anything online is a catalyst... a facilitator... an accelerator... of things that happen in the real world... these services bring to the fore all that which is a part of the human experience... including the creeps...
it's not the mall's fault if creeps go to the arcade...
the problem is not the infrastructure... it's the users...
that said... so what then?? education?
maybe some sort of licensing? like a drivers license... if ur under 18 u need to take an online seminar on how not to be abused by creeps b4 gaining full access to the service????
