Schools getting into kid's business

Go home and do stupid computer tricks on your own time....the taxpayer's have paid so you can have computer access.....respect their investment, get an education so you can have a say in what goes on in schools across the country.

She just stated that it is blocked on her school computers.

I am very surprised that they can prevent you from having a myspace account. Did you talk to your parents about it?

What the school may be doing is ensuring that their students who are under 14 do not have a Myspace account, which according to the myspace TOS is completely legit. Anyone can report an account which is from and underage person, and they will remove it.

Anything other than that would seem to be legally questionable at best.

Exactly..... they are not the ones deleting your accounts.... what in fact is happening is all of the kids under 14 are violating the terms of service set forth by MySpace. So when they are reported it is MySpace that removes the profile and rightly so since it clearly states you have to be over 14 to have a profile.

BUT if the school does this they should also be notifying parents because I will bet 90% of the parents haven't bothered to check the terms of service or even know what myspace is.
