I was just wondering because you see so many pictures and confessions of so many things from drug use, underage drinking, etc.

Actually, you can turn in those undesirables to the local police agency or to the Federal agents.

You cannot prosecute someone over the content of their MySpace profile. There is no way to tell where the activity took place. For example: in Canada the legal drinking age is different so the person in the picture may have been on a trip to Canada and drinking in a hotel room. Also, you have no way of knowing the person's true age. Over the internet it is completely possible to falsify all the information you provide. "Caty's" page that says she's 14 and loves hello kitty with the pictures of herself and her friends having a wild drinking party might actually be "Mike's" page, a man who is 40 and getting pictures off the internet to make his page more believable to the underage girls he's trying to befriend.

In general, there has to be hard evidence, not just a confession on MySpace. Besides, most local prosecutors have limited budgets and refuse to waste their time prosecuting phantom crimes on the internet when they can put real criminals behind bars.
good luck

yes you could prosecute someone on myspace if they are caught and use that evidence in a court of law
