A broad characterization of site with that many users can't help but
sweep much speech that doesn't fit the presumption.
I, for example, have been using Myspace to promote my candidacy in the
Democratic Primary for the United States Senate, clearly core protected
speech, and pretty effective. http://www.myspace.com/ben_masel
Is anyone preparing to seek injunctive relief should this pass? I want
in as a listed plaintiff, should this happen before my Sept. 12 Primary
(or after if I pull the upset of the decade v Herb Kohl.)
I've thus far spotted about 30 Candidates with myspace presences.

(snip)> The filtering companies would need to fine tune
Social Networking into a new category to target
this more accurately, and they may already be doing
this. (For example, Myspace.com is classified by
SurfControl as Personals and Dating
http://mtas.surfcontrol.com/mtas/MTAS.asp and by
SmartFilter as Dating/Social
