Bid to block paedophiles from Facebook fails:

A move to keep pedophiles and sex offenders off of Facebook and MySpace by the British government has failed due to 'human rights' concerns.

The Home Office announced in April that it was taking steps to restrict registered sex offenders from accessing the internet sites used by millions of children every day. The new law would have applied to more than 30,000 sex offenders on the register. Failure to comply would have carried up to five years' imprisonment.

But it has now emerged that the Home Office has been forced to climb down amid concerns that the plan is incompatible with the right to privacy.

How about the right for children not to be approached by sex offenders on the internet, or the right not to be molested or even the right not to be killed by these scumbags?

I'm going to say what I'm sure most British people are thinking. These scum are not deserving of human rights. In my opinion they're less than human and not deserving of the rights that the rest of us enjoy freely.

You would think that in a country where 17-year-old Ashleigh Hall was killed by registered sex offender Peter Chapman after he posed as a 17-year-old on Facebook that the government would be more open to treating these bastards like the scum that they are.
