The technological breakthrough of the World Wide Web has been enormously beneficial to society.

Social networking sites like Myspace, Friendster, and Facebook have literally exploded in popularity in just a few short years.

Anyone can use these sites - companies and colleges, teachers and students, young and old all make use of networking sites to connect with people electronically to share pictures, information, course work, and common interests.

Terrorists have already attacked our Nation once. There is every reason to believe that they will try again - possibly with a weapon of mass destruction; a weapon that could be smuggled into our ports.

These sites have torn down the geographical divide that once prevented long distance social relationships from forming, allowing instant communication and connections to take place and a virtual second life to take hold for its users.

Predators will look for any way to talk to children online whether through sites like Myspace, instant messaging, or even online games.

Myspace alone has just over 80 million users and ranks as the sixth most popular English language website and the eighth most popular site in the world.
