Parents Should Beware of Obscenity on MySpace.com
 

Information Alert-September 25, 2006

Dear Friends,

In 2002, MIM launched www.ObscenityCrimes.org to provide citizens with a means online to report violations of federal Internet obscenity laws. Complaints to the website are forwarded by MIM to the Justice Department in Washington and to local U.S. attorneys.

MIM also retained the services of two retired law enforcement agents to follow up on select complaints submitted to the site. One of the retired agents, Tom Rodgers, has written an article about the pornography problem he has encountered on the so-popular-with-kids website, MySpace.com.

The article, "Children Are Only A Few Clicks Away From Being Exposed To Pornography on MySpace.com," is now published on the ObscenityCrimes.org and Morality in Media websites.

You can read the article here:

At ObscenityCrimes.org

At MoralityinMedia.org

Sincerely,

Robert Peters, President of Morality in Media

children need better parents who dont let them just do whatever they want on the computer unsupervised. if you're under 18 you shouldnt even have a fucking myspace.

Hahaha...that's (at least) half of the people on it. No way that will ever happen.

they don't have a damn list of sites they have reported :( i tried searching :) wanted to see if they were going to make me famous.

I agree with you 200%.

I think people need to stop spamming myspace with fake webcam profiles.

parents are responsible for their kids not myspace.

i hate the government and it's trying to place liability on community sites like myspace.

I totally agree.

I thought that there was a separation between church and state?

Myspace is a crap! It is mostly used now for hooking-up.

well.. erm whats so crap about that?:pimp

Ha I like this stat from that web site

Specifically, the data show that the following percentages of males and females in various age groupings feel that viewing pornographic websites and videos is not morally acceptable:

51% of males
ages18 to 34



yea right! My house was paid for by that crowd.....
