Child porn and bad reporting

by Trench on August 1st, 2007

Augusta man held in child-porn case:
50-year-old Calvin Woodburn of Augusta, Maine was arrested on child pornography charges but look at this huge stretch the article takes to connect MySpace to the crime.

Sgt. Glenn Lang of the Maine State Police Computer Crimes Unit said Woodbury also was a member of MySpace.com messenger service, able send picture files and notes through the Web site.

Last week, the Maine attorney general accused MySpace.com of being “less than fully forthcoming” after learning the number of profiles linked to convicted sex offenders was more than four times what the popular online network claimed.

He easily could have been a member of Yahoo Messenger or MSN or any other IM client but no, they had to make the MySpace connection. From this article there is no indication that anything related to the crime took place on MySpace yet there it is mentioned in the article.

It’s fear mongering like this that leads to hysteria.
