Thank God. Now people can get the hell off the computers so I can actually use them to research.

Not just Myspace -- also Amazon, Slashdot, forums, etc.

QuoteAmazon, which allows author profiles and personal lists;

If that is a valid reason to ban users from Amazon, would they also ban users from Wikipedia as well?

In my school district Wikipedia is already blocked.

In my school district, myspace is blocked, but x86, vL, and wikipedia aren't.

This is good, maybe now some public places will have bandwidth free. Although, it's not like students haven't been getting around this for a while now.

Why would you block Amazon in libraries?  People may actually use the two for their correct uses at once.

I think it's up to the FCC; they just have some guidelines they have to consider from Congress.

It sounds like a decent idea, but they didn't hammer out all the details first.
