MySpace developing parental-notification software

Zephyr - Hahaha!: This piece of software will be useless when it comes to stopping your teen from doing whatever they want on MySpace. The company needs to tighten up their security and not allow anyone under the age of 18 to have an account unless it is authorized and validated by the childs parent. If the kids then lie about their age the parent should then have the ability to notify MySpace of the infraction and their account be deleted. (Which by the way, according to their regulations, is what is supposed to happen if MySpace discovers the user is lying about their age.) The fact that they don't delete those accounts tells me that they are not monitoring their systems users very well. I can also say that there is a plethora of under aged users on this site that have content and can see content that would require an NC-17 rating at the movie theater. That opens up a whole other set of issues I have with this site. In closing, if MySpace were to act responsible and run a reputable company we would not need software like Zephyr.
