More on sexual predators on MySpace
Back in May, I wrote a story about potential predators on MySpace, inspired by a Wired news story on the subject.
Well, Wired has done a follow-up, actually catching a convicted sex offender by running a program off-site. MySpace officials say that they — with direct access to the servers and databases — can’t do the same thing.
The mind reels.

Ridiculous. A 1000 lines of code isn’t much at all. And when it’s just a hack doing it…it beggars belief that mySpace won’t do it. And I mean “won’t” because the line about not being able to is just bollocks.
