The beauty in social networking sites is that they seem to police themselves. When people see things that disturb them, the point it out to their peers, and if that garners interest, it goes to the site managers. A prime example are "hate pages" that sometimes make it onto MySpace. The community polices and reports the misuse and the page is removed. I don't see any reason for the government to regulate another aspect of our lives...

I just got asked (today) to join a Facebook group called "Will Not Pay For Facebook. We are gone if that happens." Curious to see how popular the sentiment is, and how it pans out...

Agreed, the community is the strongest aspect of any website.
