Internet dating, good not to forget?

We spoke about the right to forget in a number of circumstances last week, and it brought to mind an article in the Hamilton Spectator regarding a known sexual offender. He has been identified in a profile for a number of dating sites. The article refers to a woman who was able to identify him as someone she once knew in a circle of friends and that she was contacted by him on the "Plenty of Fish" dating site. It is interesting to see how the privacy interests of the offender are not "protected" as we discussed previously. The knowledge of his offences are public record and it's also interesting to think of how we are basically relying on public knowledge of his past to "protect" potential online suitors from exposure. I wonder whether there are any implications or feasible ways to track or prevent this type of computer activity from being undertaken by an offender, at least while on parole. If an offender cannot own a car or drink, and is supposed to be reporting relationships with women, it seems like access to the internet makes the latter difficult to monitor. It is a twist on our discussion, and perhaps unfortunately, a more common problem than tracking sex offenders due to the lower likelihood of a public following and subsequent recognition. I would hope that the dating service providers will react to complaints made and find an effective way of blocking his access (at least if they are coming from a personal computer), although the practicality of preventing any access makes blocking his access completely unlikely. I'm thinking a different username and fake photo would obviously not be hard to obtain to create an account.
