Now MySpace a haven for pederasts?

July 10th, 2006 | Category: Politics

It appears that there are people encouraging the authorities to look at MySpace as haven for people who are not what they seem. One has to wonder if there are any cases of a pedophile chasing their prey in that manner. Are are record companies that desperate to end MySpace?

What me cynical?

Julian has written a longer piece on this whole; he takes a similar line to mine.

Whenever anything negative happens there is an immediate call for an inquiry. This is notwithstanding the fact that inquiries consume ever more time, are expensive for the British taxpayer, and seldom result in any change irrespective of recommendations by the inquiring body.
