[LM_NET] DOPA coming up again with a "second life" so to speak

[Nancy Willard <nwillard@CSRIU.ORG>]

Hi all,

I am home after 3 weeks of travel. Nice to meet some of you in person.

Looks like DOPA is reemerging - with a new additional evil, Second Life.

Here is an article: http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9937956-7.html

And a letter from a Congressman:

e_Online_Predators.html

It does seem to me that Second Life needs to sit down with the safety guru
at MySpace who has been providing such excellent leadership in protection/.

Nancy
