Legislation to ban kids' access to myspace.com and facebook.com in public libraries is picking up steam in Congress. If passed, libraries that allow that access could be stripped of Federal funding. The bill is called D.O.P.A. The Delete Online Predators Act. It was introduced Federal law required all libraries to filter out pornographic websites in computers that kids could access.

The director of the Rancho Mirage Public Library tells KPSP Local 2 that while they have a strict policy against allowing kids to access porn on computers, kids are permitted to have full access to myspace.com and facebook.com. The American Library Association has joined the fight against the proposed new law calling it an unacceptable invasion of privacy.

For it's part myspace.com has recently taken big steps to protect kids from predators including assigning about one third it's entire workforce to deal with security and customer care.
