While I see your point, it appears that she dragged herself through the mud. All myspace did was cancel her membership.

I don't agree with your statement at all.

“It has come to MySpace’s attention that you are a registered sex offender in one or more jurisdictions,” the email said. “MySpace is committed to removing registered sex offenders from its site, and will take all necessary means to block or remove anyone it determines to pose a threat to its users.”

You wouldn't be afriad that might come back to bite you in the ass?!?!?!

If I sent you a derogatory email, would that constitute dragging your name through the mud? I don't think that figure of speech is appropriate until such denigrations are made public, which in this case was triggered by *her* calling the media.

Was there an answer to my question somewhere in there?

Dude, I don't think you read the article properly - the reason she brought it to the attention of the press was this

Quote

Davis initially contacted ABC News Tuesday after reading a story about an agreement reached between MySpace and a group of state attorneys general to share information from a database MySpace had built to prevent sex offenders from keeping online profiles.

Davis told ABC News that she is worried that at some point she may have to explain a sex offender label she doesn’t understand, particularly as states, including Colorado, will have access to the MySpace database.



Basically, she is worried that some states may now record her as a sex offender because of Myspace, and when she contacted Myspace directly she was unable to get a satisfactory response.

Now that she has brought it into the media spotlight Myspace suddenly started 'reviewing the case' and have admitted the error.
Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Sentinel CEO John Cardillo told ABC News that the system functioned properly, because an actual sex offender existed with the same name, and a date of birth two years and two days apart from Davis’.



If you look at it just right... ...through a window... ...stare at your reflection... ...and let your eyes go out of focus...

...the system functioned properly.
