Kids and predators can still lie about age to get around new MySpace rules

Claiming to be 14, Marissa Marlowe used a false identity to log onto the popular Internet social networking site, MySpace.com.
Truth is, she’s only 12.
“Everyone had one so I wanted to be on,” she said. “And you can’t have one unless you’re 14, so I put I was 14.”

“I went away with the army for almost two years,” said the 32-year-old. “When I returned, my wife had cheated on me numerous times.”

The whole time he was working in the defence of his country, he said, he was worried. “I had strong feelings she was fooling around.”

Firms installing apps, anticipating legal requirements

New rules for electronic discovery of documents in civil cases go into effect in December. Lack of compliance could result in significant penalties for companies, legal experts and executives said.

The new rules were created by an advisory committee to the Judicial Conference of the United States, which oversees administrative and policy issues for federal courts, and were adopted by the U.S. Supreme Court on May 1, said Ron Hedges, magistrate judge in the U.S. District Court in Newark.

Unless Congress acts to change the rules, they will become effective on Dec. 1, Hedges said.
