Congressman introduces bill to block Facebook
“Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives have proposed legislation that would require schools and libraries to prohibit access to social networking sites.
The bill, introduced Tuesday by Rep. Michael G. Fitzpatrick (R-Pennsylvania) and supported by members of a coalition of Republicans calling itself the Suburban Caucus, would oblige schools and libraries that receive federal support to implement systems that prevent minors from viewing obscene and objectionable material online.”

I don’t think that legislating prohibition at school will produce significant changes in how sites like Facebook and MySpace are used.
