 MySpace Facts

- “MySpace is an online community that lets you

meet your friends' friends.
- Create a private community on MySpace and
you can share photos, journals and interests with
your growing network of mutual friends!
- See who knows who, or how you are
connected. Find out if you really are six people
away from Kevin Bacon.”
 The Dangers of
MySpace
• MySpace profiles are public. Anything posted on a public
profile can
be read by other members, and anybody in the outside world
can get to a MySpace
profile.

• Teens love to gossip. The same problems that torment kids

at school are magnified tenfold on MySpace.

• People aren’t who they say they are. A valid e-mail is the
only requirement for membership on MySpace and any
other identifying information can be faked.
