3500+ NY sex offenders kicked off of Myspace and Facebook

More than 3,500 sex fiends from Facebook, MySpace get boot in crackdown of Internet predators:

Those wacky attorneys general are at it again. This time it's Mr. Late to The Party New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo. As far as my recollection goes he was the last Attorney General to jump on the MySpace and Facebbok is bad bandwagon and needs to be legislated instead of telling parents to do their damn job.

In his latest publicity bid probably to get re-elected Cuomo got MySpace and Facebook to remove over 3500 registered sex offenders from their user base.

Under Cuomo's Electronic Security and Targeting of Online Predators Act (e-STOP) Law registered sex offenders are supposed to give their e-mail addresses and social site information to the NY State Government. Like that has stooped registered sex offenders in the past in other states. That was sarcasm. It hasn't. 

Just like every other AG who has done this he hasn't said what he's going to do to keep unregistered sex offenders off these sites or tell parents to do a better job. Of course he wouldn't say that to parents because they're what you call voters and if you want to get re-elected you don't actually educate the voters.
