Myspace deletes 29k sex offenders

Robert Hallock 25 Jul, 2007 at 12:12pm ET Article published in Tech

In late spring, MySpace announced that it had teamed up with local and federal law-enforcement to rid MySpace of its sexual offenders. These unsavory individuals were using MySpace to continue with their predatory tendencies, luring in the lonely, ignorant or stupid. MySpace, buckling under pressure, developed mechanics to delete these accounts systematically and announced there were approximately 7000 registered sex offenders with accounts. This week, MySpace deleted more than 29,000 accounts of sex offenders and blacklisted them.

Adult on Adult pervertation (Hmmm.. new word! LOL), is OK with me, heck, we had the hot babe thread here, but anyone that gets off going after children should be put on a sinking ship with a lead life preserver.....

Nah. Too quick of a death. I'd much prefer a super-slow and painful death. Something cruel and inhuman, because that's what those perverts deserve.
