Another reason MySpace shouldn't be open to minors -- "someone" posted a "long list and description of supposed sexual encounters between dozens of high school student," according to this story.
High school students -- and having been 17 once I'm guessing it's a student who did this -- don't really have the worldliness to realize that things you print have consequences. A law enforcement official quoted in the story makes the point that an Internet post is different than a scribble on a bathroom wall, but when your stated policy is to allow 14-year-olds to post profiles onto a sexually-charged site like MySpace, it doesn't take a genius to figure out what's going to happen.
