We’ve covered this before. This time, North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper feels that it is time to require parental consent for children under the age of 18 to sign up for “social networking” sites like MySpace. (source article)
Of course, there’s no mention on how Mr. Cooper plans to determine what qualifies as a “social networking” site. Or how they’ll go about ensuring that kids will not just be able to claim to be 18 years old.
You gotta love feel-good legislation…
