Read the headlines, and it can sound like MySpace is the most dangerous place anyone can visit on the Internet. It’s not. Take any group of millions and millions of people, who are freely able to join and navigate a web site, and you are certainly going to have a large number of people who are a danger to other people, just as when you walk down any city street, some people you walk past who have been or will be a danger to other people. Many teens seem unaware that what they are posting can be viewed by anyone in the world who has an Internet connection, but unless they have taken specific action after joining MySpace, that is indeed the case. Meanwhile, the teens post pictures and blog away, oblivious to the likelihood that parents, teachers whom they’re ‘trashing’ or maliciously impersonating, police, and sexual predators may be reading every post. Entering information that will be displayed on an openly accessible Internet page is like posting the same information on a billboard that can be seen by all the billions of people who have an Internet connection. But is a teen who wants to get online because all his friends are doing it thinking about this? Probably not. So, is MySpace dangerous? Every open Internet site is somewhat dangerous, so yes. Can a MySpace user take steps to significantly reduce the risk involved in using the site, without losing any of the benefits the site offers? Yes, absolutely.

why i think my space is dangerous bcoz of all sexual predators there are around the world.

Myspace is horrible, all my friends have a myspace, and they try to make me one. I don’t want one because you could never know who you’re talking to.
