In terms of the bill as it stands now, I am against it. It does far too much (technically, it blocks forums like this one and I'm all against that).
However, as a person working in a library, I watch kids on Myspace and in chat rooms or IM windows about 90% of the time I'm there.
Here's why I am in favor of the general idea:
1. It would make my job easier. I cannot watch every kid when 6 of 7 computers I monitor have myspace being accessed on them. I have work of my own, besides play babysitter, to do.
If I had wanted to BE a babysitter, I would have taken a job doing it...and I might be getting better pay doing it too.
2. Its not censorship as far as I am concerned (not that anyone here has brought that up yet). If it was disallowed regardless of where you were (home, work, school, library), that would be censorship and I would be opposed to that.
3. Its not a good use of bandwidth. A college in Texas recently blocked myspace usage because 60% of its outgoing traffic was people using the site. It was slowing their system down for the students trying to do legitimate school work. I feel as though I've seen this myself at the library just this past weekend.
4. You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink. You can educate the parents all you want, but it is never enough, not until they're kid becomes the victim. If I were to tell the parents of these kids what they do on the computers, they would probably not allow them at the library anymore, but that wouldn't stop the kids from lying about where they are going or sneaking in here.
5. This is my BIG reason:

I was kind of hoping it would include the word "education", but I digress. A library is a place for learning, not a hotspot for you to socialize with friends, whether they are with you, on the phone or on a computer.
Myspace is not learning, unless you consider learning who dumped who, or who is dating who, learning.
