MySpace Sex Offender Security Theater
MSNBC reports that MySpace has created a database of publicly available information on sex offenders. They will then be able to cross-reference the name and characteristics of the sex offender against the MySpace profile to help catch known offenders.
This assumes that the person registers truthfully about their name and/or personal characteristic. As described, this program — without any type of identity verification — will find only the dumbest of sex offenders.
While I applaud this step taken by MySpace, I believe that it will ultimately have limited benefits in its current form.
