MySpace is going to tell the police when a convicted sex offender sets up a profile on MySpace.

"Knowing that a convicted sex offender set up a personal Web page allows officials to investigate possible parole or probation violations." ~StarBulletin.com (May 2007)

Do they really think they can find sex offenders on MySpace this way. Once these people find out about this they will just start setting up myspace profiles using false names, if they don't already.

The other issue is privacy on the part of the offender who has served his time. Is he really banned from joining in the world of 2.0?

On the other hand, parents certainly don't want these people on MySpace where their kids are hanging out.

Do you think MySpace is right in sharing this information? Do you think it's fair? Do you think it'll do any good?
