myspace whore

So here’s the story, a 13 year old poses as an 18 year old (pics or it didn’t happen is a life rule) and meets up with some 19 year old online. Then they meet up in real life and of course this leads to sexual assault on the dude’s part. Big shock. If there’s one lesson I can give to any readers it’s that all people online are scumbags, even me. Moving on.

The family of the girl tried to sue myspace for fraud, negligence and some such nonsense. Fortunately the judge found Myspace not liable because they were third party interactions. Basically, if you dial a random phone number and then meet up with the person and get last night’s pizza beat out of you, it’s not AT&T’s fault. That’s the general idea. People, for the love of all things hot and spicy, take responsibility for your own actions. I’m looking at you, unaware parents.
