Summer Camps Join Fray Against MySpace

The New York Times reports that now even summer camps are raising concerns about social networking sites such as MySpace, Friendster, and Facebook. Camps are worried about the ramifications of certain activities being associated with their summer programs after revealing pictures or postings are made online. Some camps are banning digital cameras, while others are instructing campers and parents to remove references to the camps from blog postings. Of course, the camps take the stance that they are merely trying to protect the children:

"The information that kids share today often is personal and private information that allows predators to track them down. We're also concerned about cyber-bullying."

"But you can't just type in my real name in Google and see 183 reasons to fire me, 26 reasons to arrest me, and four reasons to execute me for treason"

Don't be so sure... Haven't you heard about "Google DirtFinder Beta"? :-)
