MySpace and legislation

kestrell linked to an interview of Henry Jenkins and danah boyd about MySpace and the "Deleting Online Predators Act".

On the one hand, I can see the argument that children on the internet should be closely supervised by an adult. On the other hand, I don't like internet filters in general and it sounds like these in particular are being very broadly drafted.

I think the most intriguing question is one brought up by danah: "Understanding why moral panics emerge when youth socialize is central to my research."
