Our libraries have already started!

In her article, "A ban on MySpace and Facebook?," Heather Havenstein writes about how Republican Illinois Senator, Matt Murphy is introducing legislation that would ban the use of social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook at public schools and libraries. Here in Suffolk County on Long Island, many of our libraries already have MySpace blocked - along with several other sites. Keeping kids safe on the Internet is of paramount importance to us parents. While many have blocked the use of MySpace at home, kids could always go to the library and use it without their parents' knowledge. While most kids may not be looking to do anything untoward on MySpace, let's face it, there are predators out there that use MySpace to their advantage, so parents have the right to worry. Plus, the content on some of these sites is not censored (not text, nor images) and I don't need my child getting his sex-ed from the Internet. Anyway, what ever happened to actual social interaction?
