Myspace and the Internet
lMany schools and public libraries in the Untied States
have blocked access to
Myspace, because it has become “such a haven for students’ gossip and malicious comments.”
lThe National Center for Missing and Exploited Children
reported 1,224 incidents last
year of “online enticement” of children by adults and estimates that one in five children get sexual
solicitations online, according to
a Washington Post report.
lThere have been numerous cases of face to face meeting
arranged on Myspace that have
turned bad.
lAccording to Alison Kiss, program director for Security
on Campus, social networking
websites such as Myspace have made it easier for stalkers who target women on college campuses.
