How Sony plans to keep Home secure

Don't be a bad boy (or girl) while sitting in Home or else big daddy Sony will punish you! Anyone with a sheltered childhood, wishing to escape with a new virtual persona via Home, will be saddened to hear that Sony is going to crack down on Home abusers with a mighty ban hammer -- suspending their use of Home and perhaps even locking their PS3 system from getting online.

Home's boss Peter Edwards doesn't mean to say Sony will become a hardcore policing force on the program, rather "it's a hard line to draw because we don't want to be walking around telling everyone off for saying 'bloody' so we've got to strike a balance there," but if you do something incredibly inappropriate (think MySpace inappropriate), then you'll get locked away from the PS3's internet for good. Keeping certain lobbies for certain games cleaner depending on the age demographic therein (no sex jokes in the Barbie Coliseum or whatever) is key, basically. Hopefully we all don't mind holding our tongues outside of our personal rooms in Home and hopefully we all have moderately pure intentions when talking to others. Anyone hot and bothered by this announcement?
