It has recently been reported that Attorney’s General’s from about a dozen U.S. States, including Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Mississippi, Maryland, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania have demanded that News Corporation’s social networking site MySpace voluntarily deliver to the AG’s a list of all sex offenders who have registered for or used the MySpace social networking service.

Actually, sexual predation has a really high rate of recidivism (40% commit another sexual offense within first year of release, it goes up for 3 years. http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/crimoff.htm). You can't cure a person of this. Most will continue to do it. To them it's how they have sex. You can't make someone stop having sex.

Keeping them off myspace won't help. They need to be removed from society, for our good and their own. Whether jail, their own island, whatever, they can't be around the rest of us. It's not fair to allow these people to create more victims when we know they will do it again.

Targeting MySpace as part of the problem isn't fair. The sex offenders are the problem. We have a nice way of twisting the real culprit around in this country. Victims have less rights than criminals. This is just one more example.
