A lot of parents get the idea that the internet is not a safe place for their children anymore, especially when they're in contact with other people over MySpace. The social-networking site launches a software that allows parents to track all changes to their children's profiles.

CNET reports that the software, with code-name Zephyr, allows parents to find out about MySpace profiles that have been created on a computer, including name, age, and location in those profiles. They will not be able to change the profile however and children will be notified that their profiles are being monitored.This is the first time that MySpace offers its own solution to track user activity following other similar softwares from other companies. 


I don't think it's a bad thing to follow your kids like this, in the end it's all for their good, but they probably don't think that way.  As in the corporate world, online privacy is something that will always be a tricky thing. Your boss thinks he can monitor all your moves to protect his company from spies, virusses or lazy employees. The 'lazy' employee on the other hand believes he should be trusted with the responsibility to decide for himself if he's harming the company or not...

Tough deal!
