RIM Launches Mobile Facebook Application

ROFL 🤣 🤣 🤣

Ah heck, I'm not a parent, I think teenagers now a days a freaks with all they're tongue piercings, and so on, and I don't want to have a freak as a kid of mine!!!!!!!

But anyway, I don't think going to the mall is dangerous, I think going to the mall by yourself is what can be dangerous, send them with an older sibling.

The so called "qualification" shield doesn't work... some kids just want to build a huge myspace friend list and in doing so you get these perverts that act like they are young and get on these kids myspace lists. Its almost the same with facebook. The reason why I think this way is due to my younger cousin getting hurt by someone off myspace. SO, I'm not going to get into details, I've always disliked things like myspace or facebook. If you want a webpage, make it yourself and don't give out personal information.

Well, someon didn't teach them correct ways of using myspace. If you teach your kids, they'll be fine online.

If you kids hate you and want to fool around with random people, they will. Whether on facebook or myspace.

ugh. I've managed never to be stalked and I've been using myspace or facebook for years.

you're right. it takes two to tangle, same goes with online predators. if you teach kids the correct way of using such applications, they won't get into trouble, unless of course, they're not getting attention elsewhere...they'll get it online. and believe me, they'll get that attention from anywhere...not just these social networking sites like myspace and facebook. chatrooms and other messaging boards are just as bad. this is one reason why there's a minimum age requirement on social networking sites...but they're obviously not being taken seriously. kids these days can pretty much get anything they want off the net.

as i see it, don't blame the applications, blame the people who abuse it.

MySpace pretty much is a popularity contest with people trying to add as many friends as possible. Thus, it is easier for those with bad intentions to collect information on someone.

There is a huge difference between MySpace and Facebook though. MySpace defaults users into having no privacy. You have to go in there and turn on any security settings. Facebook is the reverse; it defaults you into a privacy mode and the user has to actually go in and open up the account for others to see any of his or her info.

I can see your argument being valid if we were talking about MySpace but if such an incident happened on Facebook then I would have to lay blame on the user for consciously turning off the privacy setting.

agreed....facebook began as a COLLEGE networking site. so most of the people on there are atleast college educated people.

Myspace was open to everyone from the start and they had very little security when it first began.
