It's true that there were underlying things going on in the Myspace suicide case- but the fact is still that Myspace was the instrument used in bullying the girl, so things have tightened down so that can't be done again.

The case in question was particularly heinous because it was an adult messing with the head of a child. Had it been classmates messing with her it would have gotten far less attention, but it was a woman almost my age representing herself as a teenage boy. As it had some very serious consequences, Myspace et al are now pretty goddam serious about security, as they don't wish to be sued into oblivion. Can't blame them- I'd do the same.
