We read:
"A federal appeals court has ruled that MySpace.com is immune from a lawsuit over the alleged sexual assault of a teenage girl by a man she met on the social networking website. The 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals' decision today upholds the dismissal of the lawsuit.
The Texas girl's family had sued MySpace and its parent company, News Corp, claiming that MySpace did not protect young users from sexual predators.
The court says federal law bars such lawsuits against web-based services like MySpace.

If this decision had gone the other way, it would have placed a huge censorship requirement on social networking sites

Ah yes, the parents expected someone else to keep watch over their daughter, God forbid they take a personal interest and monitor their daughter's online activity.

Yes anonymous, why should they have to bother with raising and protecting their daughter. Ridiculous.
