What is so wrong about myspace.com?

Question

u know how some people arent allowed to have a myspace!!!!!

I have no idea why?????

Answer 1

Part of it is that myspace.com is first, a huge waste of time. My opinion.

They also let you upload virtually anything, including viruses, and display it as something else. I know this from experience with my kids.

It's also not moderated and many things can happen like pedophiles can try to get in touch with children and many other nasty things.

Answer 2

well that depends on how old you are, and if you are a kid who likes to click on everything just to see what it does and if you are easily tricked by spammers into installing malicious software onto your computer

all it takes is one wrong click and your entire computer's security is vulnerable, including bank account numbers and anything else you keep on your computer

but then again, the same holds true no matter what site you are talking about (even yahoo answers!) - spammers are everywhere on every site - trying to make money off people who click on things they shouldnt be clicking on

so tell your parents, if they are worried about you using myspace, then they also have to worry about you using every other website in the world (including yahoo answers) - it's not like online preditors ONLY use myspace... that would just be silly....

Answer 3

Because maybe they are too young, or their parents are worried about the type of people that might message them.  I wouldn't let my child under the age of 16 have an account.  There isn't any reason to.
