On Myspace there are millions of users who can browse your profile and any pictures you have listed at any time of day or night. (If you don’t have your profile set to private) Sexual predators troll these types of territories looking for their next victims. This can be extremely dangerous an scary for our community and parents everywhere. the National Association of Attorneys General had a meeting recently and the biggest focus was trying to get rid of the Myspace creeps. Myspace says it has removed thousands of profiles of sexual predators who have registered under their own names. What about the ones who are signing up under different names? Myspace defends themselves by saying this is currently something they are diligently working on and want to make it as safe as the Internet can be. Until then please make sure your children are being supervised while using such sites, so your fears do not become a reality.
There are several other social networking sites that face these same types of problems in the future, I don’t want anyone to think I am singling out Myspace only, however I have done no research on the other social networking sites.
