The Verdict?
The court ruled that Bakers stories and emails were protected under the 1st Amendment, and that there was insufficient evidence to assume he had intent to commit a crime
Concerned Mothers Content should not be available thru such an easily accessible medium Could promote harmful thoughts/actions from those who read Could scar the minds of children who accidentally find it
27% of 8-11 year olds who are aware of social networking sites say that they have a profile on a site. 41% of children aged 8-17 who had a visible profile had their profile set so that it was visible to anyone 3.6 million children under 12 yrs old have Facebook accounts, despite FB setting the minimum age at 13.

Hate Speech
Example: Holocaust Denial Groups on Facebook Pages dedicated to those who believe and discuss that the Holocaust never happened and that the Jewish population uses the story as a means of furthering its race.
Facebook received pressure to remove the pages and disallow such organizations from congregating on the site.
Is There a Solution?
Uphold Free Speech
"You do not combat ignorance by trying to cover up that ignorance exists. You confront it head on. Facebook will do the world no good by trying to become its thought police.
Ezra Callahan, Jewish FB employee
Consider it Hate Speech When it comes to an atrocity on the scale of the Holocaust, anything promoting denial of its existence amounts to advocating violence.
Rabbi Abraham Cooper
Cybersex
Sites such as Facebook, Myspace and Craigslist can serve as a magical sex playground for anonymous sexual predators.

20% of children age 10-17 have been solicited sexually online; the solicitors asked to meet the youth in person, called them on the telephone, or sent offline mail, money, or gifts. 14% of children have met face to face with a person they have met online. From 2007-2009, Myspace and Facebook found and deleted profiles of over 140,000 registered sex offenders.

Cyberbullying
E-mail, Instant messaging, Myspace, Facebook and etc. allow bullies easy access to both the victim and their target audience. Bullies deliver daily doses of embarrassment by simply posting a message on their personal web page or sending an e-mail about the victim to everyone they know.
90% of children between ages 8 and 16 have viewed pornography on the Internet. 70% have accidentally come across pornography on the Web (so they say) In a recent study, 17% of boys and 16% of girls aged 10-11 had unintentionally viewed unwanted material
48 percent of K-1st reported viewing online content that made them feel uncomfortable, of which 72 percent reported the experience to a grownup, meaning that one in four children did not.
Social sites for kids, such as Togetherville.com, provide a safe alternative to Facebook that parents can share with their young children.
TALK to your kids! Make sure they understand the importance of internet safety, and enforce rules about what they can and cannot use the internet for (easier said than done, I know)
