Do you think myspace.com should be taken off the internet?

no.\n\nmyspace is not intended for pornography. the people in control of it should crack down on nude photos, but otherwise, it's the responsibility of the user to keep his or herself safe. users should have enough sense not to post pictures, clothed or nude, and not to post age, sex, location, IM, email address, etc. anyone who chooses to do so does this at his or her own risk. \n\nparents should do a better job teaching their children. children should never post personal information or pictures on the internet. they should also be taught not to talk to strangers on the internet, just like they are taught not to talk to strangers in person.\n\nlast but not least, myspace has a terms of services agreement that clearly states, "MySpace.com is not responsible for the conduct, whether online or offline, of any User of the Services."

If yahoo answers gets negitive publicity from CNN parents will be convinced that its the answer to their children's saftey too.\n\nMyspace and even Yahoo answers should monitor more the content and ages of kids.\nIt is true what you say. No amount of banning is going to stop kids from doing it. if its not myspace,yahoo 360,zanga,live journal it will be some other program or online community.I think the situation is more with  internet awareness education, not banning myspace accounts.

You should hide your myspace profile so that it's only viewable to people on your friends list -- remember, anything you post on the Internet is public domain!

Myspace is just another avenue for today's youths to communicate with one another. Yes, it can be a problem, however, it is truly up to you as a parent to monitor what your child may or may not be doing on myspace. \n\nWe have all seen the news reports. It we did not have so many fast a$$ children trying to hook up with every tom dick and harry then myspace wouldn't be receiving all of the hype that it is getting now.

I AGREE!!! =D\n\nI don't see how anyone can be so addicted to a website. I'm not even that addicted to programming. There's something wrong there.\n\nA lot of the young girls think they're so "cool" because they're dating someone they don't even know. It's probably someone that is 45-years-old, waiting for a young "target."\n\nI know a girl (17 though) that devotes her entire day for MySpace. She even plays sick to stay home from school, just to get on MySpace -- ALL...DAY...LONG!\n\nI don't understand it. I really don't. It's gotten to the point where I want to deface the MySpace website. To get on there and actually find out how stupid some of the people are. And how desperate they are.\n\nMySpace is NOT addicting to me. I think it's pretty stupid. People run popularity contests and try to see who can have the most friends.\n\nHell, they don't even talk to half the people on their Friends list. They just have them, well, to have them. They don't know who half the people are, and they probably just thought that person's profile was "cool".\n\nI think they're ALL stupid. I don't care whose it is. Then, these posers making "fan pages" for music artists, actors/actresses, etc. It's all just a big joke.

I am very much anti-myspace.  I think it is a complete waste of time, and really just a way to advertise yourself and make new pseudo-friends.  I also agree that it is potentially dangerous hunting grounds for online predators, but the site doesn't allow anybody who claims to be under 16 to post a profile.  Too many of my peers use myspace constantly.  Also, a note to all you parents of teens out there, if you want to find out if your kid is misbehaving, look no further than there myspace profile.  Despite anybody being able to view their profile, many of my classmates post pictures of themselves with booze, scantily clad girlfriends, etc.

If you use another site to get round it, the school will find out and block that site also. How do you think they knew about Myspace in the first place.

It really depends.  If a minor is using myspace and they put all sorts of personal information on their myspace then it could be dangerous as sexual preditors are lurking out there.  Parents should really monitor their child's myspace.  \n\nMy daughter & I have a great relationship and I monitor her's all the time.  She shows it to me, she even gave me her password so I can monitor some of her friends for their parents because their kids have their myspace set to private.

Thank you for the warning. However, much talk has been going on about MySpace and it hasn't effected many users thoughts on the site. Sickos are everywhere, not only on MySpace, and honestly if someone was to say something like Heyy i'm Mary I live at 123 Chesnut Ave NY then there is something very wrong with them. Thanks for the warning though!

I know a lot of people have issues with this but think of it this way....  Would you drop your kid off in downtown Las Vegas and leave them alone for fear of invading their privacy?  Believe me, the internet is a lot worse than Vegas will ever be.

I honestly believe MySpace is so popular because of flirting. If this sounds childish, it is. Not only is it childish, it's dangerous. Numerous child offenders have been found prowling in MySpace.\n\nMany have yet to realize, it is easier to diguise oneself on the Internet than any other place. Any man can learn to type and talk younger, and therewith fool youths into thinking he is one of them. Children, (and I mean 0-17 year olds) want to mature so fast, and parents are letting them. Yet, these children are hardly ready to enter the dangerous world of adults.

Yes, I agree.\n\nPeople go on there and talk \nabout how much of a life they \nhave and I'm like well if your life\n is so busy  then why are you \nwriting a whole novel on your god \nforsaken myspace?\n\nI don't have a myspace, and I don't want one.\n\n<3

well that kind defeats the whole purpose of myspace does'nt it?  I seriously doubt that this is possible.  If you want a private web site, build one...

MySpace was originally created for the music scene. The fact it is now a haven for teenie boppers and "HEY LOOK AT ME!" sites is ridiculous. Its another place for internet predators to do their thing. Parents dont monitor their childrens doings on the net. Just recently I saw a news story that a few kids were exchanging thoughts on a copy cat act of the Columbine shootings on its anniversary. The police were tipped about the myspace account and they kids were arrested. I think myspace needs to be monitored better and possibly put back to the roots it was originally made for. I mean there is enough other places to "whore" yourself.
