MySpace To Be Made Safer For Users
Carl Bialik from the WSJ writes "'When News Corp. bought the social-networking Web site MySpace.com last July, the media company got two surprises, one good and one bad,' the Wall Street Journal reports. The good news: Traffic nearly doubled in the last half of last year. The bad news: MySpace is being criticized for exposing children to risqué content and sexual predators. In response, 'News Corp. plans to appoint a "safety czar" to oversee the site, launch an education campaign that may include letters to schools and public-service announcements to encourage children not to reveal their contact information."
Oh, Rupert Murdoch--you silly, silly man. How in the world are you gonna block all those pervert Slashdot and Fark users?
I might know what I'm talkin' about, but then again, this is Slashdot...
This is what happens when a corporations buys a popular service created with the idea of free speech, free expression, networking of communities and people.
They deem it pornographic, disgusting, filthy, unsafe for children, wrong and bad for all of us who PARTICIPATE and make the community what it is.
Welcome to a microcosim of life and our civilization... Myspace.
Yes the world is full of people who loves to say things freely, speak their mind, show their tits, fuck each other and wipe their own asses. We are a wide ranging species, and these things tend to be bad for us.
Sex is bad for you. Stop doing it. Do not think it. Do not promote it. How dare you. A child might see. Yet a child is created from sex...
Freedom is controlled by those with the biggest wallet. They own you, and they fear what you may do to hurt their wealthy lives.
Why is it, that we are so ashamed of our own actions when publically held up to some bullshit standard of ideals?
There are millions of people on myspace, expressing themselves through blogs, pictures, email, chat, get togethers... AKA socializing.
Are we to let a corporation dictate how we socialize.
FOX and Rupart Murdock beleive you should not socialize in an adult manner. Perhaps we should all show up in uniforms, solute the fox corporation then sit down in unison, and finally, socialize on command.
Its absurd.
Get your crayons, pencils are to dangerous. We should not have knives in our homes because a child may use one. We could kill each other with knives by accident... or god forbid on purpose.
We could choke to death on pretzels... our idiotic president almost did so why should be allowed to enjoy a pretzel.
Every american should take a picture of themselves jerking off or fucking someone, something, anything... and post it to myspace as a public protest on one weekend.
As a group of people, when we stand in shame before ourselves, seem to be embarrassed by the idea that we wipe our own asses, and lick suck and penatrate things.......
Oh god the children may read this...
What will we ever do. They might grow up to have sex?!
Wow that's so funny because, like, he shot someone, right? W0oot wow you rulzed teh Int@rwebs!
Listen, I'll let you use that joke for another week, but then that's it. No more.
