What a great idea :!

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Walt Disney Co. unveiled a program on Tuesday to let preteens create personal mini Web sites like MySpace's very popular social networking site for older teens and young adults, with parental controls it hopes will create a safe haven.

The Disney feature, called Disney Xtreme Digital, or Disney XD, is aimed at kids under 14, with parents getting control over Internet activities, Paul Yanover, executive vice president and managing director of Disney Online, said in an interview

Great now some kid is going to get kicked out of pre school for putting up pictures of drinking his juice in a pirate hat

excellent idea! disney is banking on the belief that pedophiles are far too lazy to go the extra step of pretending to be a parent prior to pretending to be a 12 yr old.

They won't kick him out. They just won't let him go to kindergarten.

If you're under 13 and are so desperate for friends that you're turning to the net for some acceptance and a safe haven...
