Social media profiles can be somewhat limited by privacy settings..... unless you're one of them

Personal profiles on social media sites can be personalised putting on what you want others to see and also limiting certain group of people from seeing all of the personal information such as addresses. However in Louisiana state of USA, there's a law that recently took affect forcing a certain group of people if they were to use social media, they had to put their address and physical description, and most importantly, they have to list their crimes committed on their profiles specifically crimes related to sex, as you now would've guessed, they are sex offenders. This was actually a step down from their initial ban of social media usage from sex offenders.

While the law in Louisiana was adhered to protect people by making them aware of the sex offenders' previous crimes, what they look like and where they live, it seems highly unlikely they would even register for an account considering how they will be tagged with their dark past making it impossible to start afresh, those who have accounts would probably delete their accounts in fear of shame from people they know. This law on the surface may be looking like they have eased up on the past offenders, but in reality, it's probably for monitor purposes should the past offenders choose to continue or take up on being involved in social media.
