Yale Daily News - Bill would restrict kids’ MySpace profiles

Yale Daily News - Bill would restrict kids’ MySpace profiles
I am concerned that well-intentioned laws, developed by well-intentioned public officials are missing the mark. I have offered and continue to offer my help and the help of our other experts at WiredSafety.org in identifying safety measures and tools and best practices, as well as educational efforts, all designed to keep young people safer online.

General Blumenthal, I'm here to help. But I don't think requiring authentication of minors and parental consent is the answer, nor do I think it could work.

Let's work together to help frame something that will.
