"...Flag personal emails that contain sexual contents. (Meaning, if someone is talking sexual, capture there username and analyze/track there inbox on myspace. See if that user is also talking sexual with other users. ect... More than likely, it's a predator (a predator does not always have be defined as preying on underage children, they can prey on anyone). Now even if everyone is over age, and this one person is constantly writing other people and talking about sex, it should be flagged brought to the users that this one particular user is doing."

What about privacy. I don't want myspace.com people reading my email to my girl friend. Looks like another case of BIG BROTHER WATCHING.
