Don’t Blame MySpace MAG
MySpace. I’m sure you’ve heard of it. It’s a “social networking” site founded by Tom Anderson - a “place for friends.”
Using MySpace is an individual’s choice; no one has to make a MySpace page. You choose your friends, you control whom you want to talk to, and you are never forced to disclose personal information. There are privacy controls, and you can set these so only friends can view your profile.
MySpace is completely safe if used correctly. If predators find you, it’s basically your fault; you displayed enough personal information for them to find you. If parents want to make MySpace safer, they should ensure their kids aren’t posting personal information. No one should post or give out their address, what school they go to, or their phone number.
MySpace itself is not bad - the people who abuse it are.
