re: Feb. 16, 2007 Reintroduction of Deleting Online Predators Act (DOPA) (HB 410-15), which had passed the House in 2006, but died in the Senate. The reintroduced bill "withholds federal e-rate funding from libraries and schools that do not restrict the use of social networking websites by minors. DOPA follows the January 6 Senate introduction by Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) of the similar Protecting Children in the 21st Century Act (S. 49)."

- - - - - "“Limiting access to social networking sites in schools and libraries will have little impact on the overall problem, since young people access these collaborative sites from many locations over a period of time,” Illinois Library Association Executive Director Robert P. Doyle said on the February 28 ALA TechSource blog. “If children are going to get into trouble online, chances are it won’t be at school or at the library.”"
