MySpace wrongly identifies woman as sex offender

Given the recent attention to MysSpace stating they were going to remove sex offenders, this news I guess demonstrates they were serious. However it also raises questions of their accuracy given this women was not a sexual offender:

"I want to inform you that I am NOT a sex offender, let me repeat my self (sic), I am NOT a sex offender. You have the wrong person and I'm horrified and appalled at such an accusation," wrote Davis, an English major who lives outside of Boulder and hopes to attend law school. "I would like to know where you got this information and would like this matter cleared up ASAP."

On Wednesday, days after she sent a second e-mail to MySpace, Davis said she finally heard back.

"We do not keep records of removed profiles or images," the response note reads. "If it was removed by MySpace it was because of a violation of our terms and conditions -- which can include a number of things (underage, inappropriate images, cyber bullying, spam, etc). Please review our terms for further assistance."

Really what's stupid about this is all a person has to do is use a fake name, and a fake birthdate and that's realistically what a real sexual offender would do anyway. The only one's MySpace is going to "catch" are going to be stupid ones or the wrong ones...
