“Facebook and Divorce: Airing your Dirty Laundry”. This article is about how these social networking sites can be good if a user is trying to make relations, keep relations with a person but not really if a person is trying to end relations. These sites can cause more drama in an ending a relationship if any or just be the main source of it. A couple was getting a divorce and on the husbands facebook wall his soon to be ex wife posted embarrassing things about him that all his friends that were on his facebook got to see. After the husband blocked his wife she also then picked girls that she saw on the husbands’ wall and sent emails to them letting them know that he was married and had kids because he left that important information out when writing about himself on his facebook page. Facebook and Myspace can also be used as evidence for lawyers because people use these sites usually either put too much personal information or not enough personal important information. By putting too much information is like a person is putting up like wild pictures or saying that they drink if the person is not even supposed to be drinking. “How Safe is MySpace?” This article is about how MySpace needs to step up their security by having the right age of a user that is on MySpace rather than just typing in a birth date that might not even be theirs and they do not even have to be true. There was cases in this article which says that criminal charges are pursuing a 19 year old boy had sex with a 14 year old girl that he met over MySpace but the whole time he thought she was a 16 year old girl like she had said and put on her age on MySpace. Another incident was when a 16 year old girl flew all the way to Jordan to get married. The whole issue of these situations is either the children lying about their age or the other person is lying about their age and there is absolutely no way of finding that out unless you have meet the person or have already met that person. MySpace’s chief security guard said that there is no technology that exists to show the real identity of a person online. All these issues of lying about the age or being able to put any age is causing more and more criminal cases that could have been prevented.
