At this stupid nonsense from the article:
Some more conservative parents might want reasonably tame photos removed, or wall posts with foul language taken down – which could eventually become a large expense for Facebook not to mention the complicated moral objections this bill may raise.
As a parent it is MY DECISION what is reasonably tame, and it doesn't matter a bit if I'm conservative, liberal, or whatever.......I'm the parent.
I guess I'm overly sensitive, but this kind of stuff -- arguments opposing what amounts to parental responsibility drives-- me nuts. That the government is getting involved just rubs me the wrong way.

Dittos. My 16-year old boy has FB and my wife (also on FB) keeps tabs on it to a degree by being a “friend” or whatever, and also having his password. She keeps him honest once in awhile. (Last time it was because he made a quip about Obama being dead - “opps, I meant Osama”.) As much as you can’t stand the guy, you shouldn’t be saying stuff like that - especially when your name is attached to it!
My 13 year-old daughters don’t have it, but every so often they mention it. One of these days they will.
And the only on-line computers they can use are in family areas of the house.
