1.Summarize the argument made in this article.
This article is saying that having a law that restricts registered sex offenders is not really going to do any good. The article says that the rate of people being sexually abused through use of the internet is very low. It is also stated that most registered sex offenders are not people who have actually sexually abused a child or teenager, but people who have done things like flashing, public urination, and consensual sex between teenagers. This article states that blocking the sex offenders actually takes away a form of rehabilitation, by taking these people away from sites that could help them in their career. The last thing this article brings up is that the most dangerous offenders are the ones that have not been caught yet.
2.What evidence is presented to support the argument?
The evidence used are things such as statistics from studies, expert testimony, and articles from trustworthy news providers.
3.State and justify your position on banning sex offenders from social-networking sites?
I am going to have to agree with the article because not everyone who is registered as a sex offender is a danger to children. Also keeping them from these sites is hurting their career which could in turn be hurting their rehabilitation.
