Sex Offenders Face Net Use Curbs
"Sex offenders' e-mail addresses are to be passed to social networking sites like Facebook and Bebo to prevent them contacting children. Offenders who do not give police their address - or give a false one - already face up to five years in jail. Websites would be expected to monitor the e-mail address usage or block them accessing the sites. Other measures in new government guidelines include a "kitemark" for filtering software. Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said she wanted children to be "free from fear". However, BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said ministers admitted that details of the system are still to be worked out, including how would it work with websites based abroad over which the UK has no jurisdiction."
Good luck.

- Are you joking?! Is an email address an ID card? Is it DNA? Christ, this shows how far behind modern life the lawmakers are in this country. Need I even I point out to you dear reader, someone who has used the internet at least once in their life how hopelessly inadequate this plan is?
