Aye, but good 'ol Thomas Jefferson begged to differ.

This bill was also brought up in the MySpace thread. It does NOT ban any of these sites in any way. It bans minors from accessing sites that "commercial social networking websites and chat rooms that have been shown to allow sexual predators easy access to personal information of, and contact with, children." ChiefDelphi, for instance, is in no danger.
"The language of the bill, however, may still be modified before it is formally voted upon. "It still has to go through a tough markup process," Jeff Urbanchuk, Fitsgerald's press secretary, told PC Magazine. "It's only 72 hours old, you know." "

You may lose your MySpace, or Livejournal until you're 18, but big whoop. If it cuts down on sexual predators, I'm all for it.
