danah boyd, the social media researcher, predicted it: legislation requiring libraries and schools to “protect minors from commercial social networking websites and chat rooms” such as MySpace, AIM, Xanga, Blogger, and Flickr. It would also apply to message boards. As non-commercial sites, school sites themselves would be excluded. But how this would effect university libraries and computer resources, which can be used by minors, remains to be seen. For those of you in higher education using these kinds of sites and tools to communicate with prospective students, or for those of you in the high school ranks who may use these sites in teaching and advising, how will this impact your ability to communicate, teach, and learn about your community, if suddenly many students are blocked? Are students you encounter using these sites from home, or from their school or library? I suspect this may be a topic of conversation on today’s Skypecast.
