Information to protect your children online

Concerned Parents OnlineWednesday, June 21, 2006MySpace plans new curbs - Security - MSNBC.comDear Previous Poster- Ask and you shall receive!! According to this latest, linked article MySpace is beefing up its member security services. As such, they will soon be offering the profile privacy option to all users, not just those 15 and under! Just as you had suggested. Additionally, they will now prevent anyone 18+ from connecting with users that are 14 or 15 unless the requester can provide the youngster's full name or email address. So is this the end of online predators?? Not quite. First of all, there is no way of knowing how old someone actually is, so what is to prevent a middle-aged sex offender from registering as a 17-year-old? Also, if there's a creep in your neighborhood or school system, chances are s/he may know the full name of your child. Definitely not the end of MySpace danger, but hopefully a step in the right direction. |
