MySpace faces big trouble for not filtering child pornography
Sky News has just reported on the story of a girl who has been arrested and charged with possession of child pornography and distribution of child pornography after posting nude pictures of herself on MySpace.
Whilst MySpace has been challenged before for exposing children to porn hopefully this latest headline will bring intervention from the regulators as it follows on from some disturbing “Stexting” stories in the US involving minors over the past few weeks (eg. NY Times Story and CBS News)
The MySpace lawyers will undoubtedly be kept busy… particularly as the tip off didn’t come from MySpace themselves but from America’s National Centre for Missing & Exploited Children.
