MySpace to offer parental notification software: report

January 17, 2007 NEW YORK (Reuters) - MySpace.com, News Corp.'s <NWSa.N> popular online social network, plans to offer free parental notification software in a bid to appease government critics, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.

Parents will be able to use the software, named “Zephyr,” to find out what name, age and location their children use to represent themselves on MySpace, the Journal said.

It would not allow parents to read their children’s e-mail or see their profile pages, and it would alert children that their information was being shared, the paper reported.
 
I do not believe that is good enough. Parents should have the right to see ALL of what their children see and post on the web.
