Agree... If the problem is really to the level portrayed in the media, there is stuff any website can do to minimize this - it's the same with any form of abuse.
Pedos are everywhere - they don't need myspace.com to commit offenses, but obviously attracted to locations (web or physical) where children are around. If a website wanted to encourage reporting of suspect activity - simply set up a "Law Office" link to enable staff to check and monitor this if justified.
I'd think any attempt by agencies to close down sites which are operating legally, would be met with some challenges.
