The US House of Representatives has voted to ban the use of social networking sites in publicly funded organizations, such as schools and libraries. The ban comes in response to several cases of predators using social networking sites, such as MySpace, to meet young people.
The proposed law will forbid schools and libraries from allowing young people to access web sites with chat rooms or social networking functionality. Adults will still be able to access these services, but will need permission.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will determine which sites will fall under the control of the new Act.
