Do Social Network Regulations Make Sense?

Sarah Perez has started a great conversation about whether or not social network should be regulated. I’m excited to see the conversation at least started as I have mentioned this before. Sarah quotes an article in today’s Guardian which states that, “Nine out of 10 people think there should be tighter regulation of information on social networking websites” and “89% of those surveyed by the Press Complaints Commission said there should be a set of widely accepted rules to help prevent personal information – such as private photographs – being abused.”

The bottom line is that people believe there should be regulations but in this country at least, very little regulation (if any) has been focused on social networks aside from privacy policies and the creation of policies to protect children.
