Facebook, MySpace, and Friendship (concerns)

In the Information Age more than ever people are giving away their every last detail, all of their personal information everyday. One of the most popular ways to willingly give away all of your information is through social networking sites such as MySpace or Facebook. Marwick focuses in his article about MySpace and perceived rise in predators. He goes on to talk in detail about the laws and regulations that have been put in place to try to stem the flow of "indecency" on the internet. In the class we discussed how placing regulations on any item on the Internet, pornography or not can be extremely difficult and can be fundamentally changing on the way the Internet works. Furthering that how we would have a hard time regulating something universal with only a Western view on those regulations.
