This BBC article entitled ‘MySpace bars 29,000 sex offenders’ starts to raise the bar slightly in online safety. This someone what seems in response to the MySpace research I carried out earlier and the bill being processed about banning the use of MySpace in public places to kids. But ethically with the onslaught of fictional profiles as well as fraudulent profiles being uploaded each day, how can it really be policed? Surely this must have been one of the issues which was raised in the initial business model as deception of any form when it comes to identity is a fundamental issue. Maybe it will take a serious con for something to happen, again only time may tell.
