I agree with Marcia and believe teens should be taught about the dangers of the internet (hell, even beyond the internet). I myself have seen teens giving out *way* too much information on MySpace alone (ex: posting their home phone number to 300+ strangers). They've got my signature.

As a young adult librarian, I see teens struggle daily with the restrcitions placed on them by parents, teachers and legislators. I have the unfortunate distinction of working for a library that has banned MySpace and other social sites and the teens who relied on the public library to access these sites are now disenfranchised. It is my hope that should DOPA die (as it should) in the Senate that we will be able to unblock those sites deemed 'unsafe' and welcome our teens back to the library.
