MySpace Safety

Ok, this has bothered me long enough. I have let it go for far too long. It is time I do something about it. Have any of you noticed the "People You May Know" thing that pops up on the right or left side of your screen. Neat feature, huh??? Yea, well to some people it may be.
I do NOT agree with it. It is showing underage people's profiles that any predator can see. Some of these kids are trying to be responsible and do the right thing by putting their location as California or something, but MySpace pretty much exposes them by putting them there for the predator to know that they are close. And it's not only kids...what if someone is hiding from someone with a restraining order or something and this feature esposes them....I don't know. This just ticks me off. Yea, it's a nice feature to have in a perfect world, but this is NOT a perfect world. It gets more scary by the day.
I am on a mission to have this changed and all I ask is for your support. I will be blogging this same message as well. Please support me in this. I am really passionate about helping young children. MySpace can be a good thing, but as we all know from past stories, it has been a bad thing as well. I don't want to hear another bad story.
Here is the message I sent to customer service. Please feel free to contact them yourself as well.
"Hello. I am writing with concern on the newer feature of "People You May Know". I do not believe that this feature should inlclude users under 18 years of age. Actually I don't agree with the feature at all, but especially for users under 18. I see kids on there that I know are from my area, but they change their location to try and be safe from predators...but then myspace in a way exposes their true location. Any predator could figure that out. If you refuse to remove this feature altogether, ATLEAST remove it from underage users. I know this wouldn't include kids that have their age set at 99 or something, but it would remove some of them. These kids are being responsible by trying to hide their information...I think it is time that MySpace is responsible by trying to protect the children as well. PLEASE RESPOND!!! "
Thank you for all of your support!!!
God Bless!
