Should My space Held Responsible for Teen Sex Offenders?


My space is a social network that connects people online for interaction. It is fun place to catch up with old friends, chatting with your buddies or even hooking for casual dating. You can post on your profile video, picture, and music. You can allow user to visit your page and leave you comment or can add your name as friend.

Over the past years, there have been tremendous complaints against the websites owners due increasing number of teen sexual offenders. Public have mix opinion when comes to this topic. There are those who think My Space should be held responsible to provide safety for teenagers who are huge fans of my space. And there is other group who thinks parent should have parental control over online social network and monitored their children online activities.

In my opinion both these two groups have valid point. Technology like anything has pro and corns. Technology has so many good sides when comes to life. But there are few who use technology badly and spoil the good intentions. I am talking about sex offenders giving bad name to my space. So far security measure has been taken to eliminate this problem. Age disclosure including your birthday is required when joining my space. It is true my space alone cannot solve this problem .Parent should be more involve and monitor children online activity. There is available software that can block children from visiting unauthorized website. Parent should use this software.
