The Deleting Online Predators Act of 2006, introduced Tuesday by Rep. Michael G. Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., would require schools and libraries to implement security measures that “prevent students from being exposed to obscene and objectionable material,” according to a statement from the congressman.
Nearly 80 million people belong to MySpace, one of the web’s most visited sites, and members can be as young as 14 years old. Many member profiles contain names, photographs and contact information, a possible magnet for sexual predators, Fitzpatrick’s statement said.
