MySpace is an extremely popular website that is used as a social-networking and lifestyle communications vehicle. The use of MySpace has greatly increased and since it is used extensively by young people many safety issues have come to light.

Parents have begun asking questions about the safety and privacy of those who use MySpace. MySpace integrates web profiles, instant messaging, blogs, music downloads, photo galleries, events, classified listings, e-mail and chatrooms. All of this information can be accessed by anyone connecting with MySpace and this is where safety and privacy issues can become a problem.
