Why do people block myspace when some people just use it to talk to their friends. should myspace be unblock?

Question

It should not be block because is not cool people are not to much of perves

Answer 1

Schools block MySpace because it's a legal requirement. According to federal law, if they make computers and Internet connections available to students, then they must be used for educational purposes. MySpace doesn't qualify as educational, so it gets blocked.

Another thing you have to realize is that whoever owns the equipment (school, workplace, parents, library, etc.) gets to make the rules for how it's used. If in their judgement MySpace isn't an appropriate site, it is entirely fair for them to block it.

If you don't like that, pay for your own computer and Internet connection and then you can surf wherever you want.

Answer 2

I know my employer blocks sites like that as well as web based email sites. A study of historical computer security breakdown indicated that the majority of the attacks made it in because of attachments or exploits from these sites. It isn't that every page on the site is bad, just that the corporation realized that the sites do have enough problems that they weren't willing to risk the site. Now the type of exploit apparently is related to the "human" factor, not a technology factor. When a number of the people click on the "cool screensver.exe" and it contains a virus, the systems can be infected if the users have administrative rights (which generally they shouldn't, but Microsoft operating systems, at least up until Vista). Not having admin rights generally caused usability issues as Microsoft and software vendors haven't learned to write their software to require less than full privileges.

Owners of networks also have the right to block content as you are using their network, not yours. If you want access to the site, you may have to do so from your home computer or wireless device (cell phone/pda with a wireless access plan).

Answer 3

US House Resolution 5319, the Deleting Online Predators Act (DOPA), was passed by a 410 to 15 vote tonight. Social networking sites and chat rooms must be blocked by schools and libraries or those institutions will lose their federal internet subsidies. According to the resolution’s top line summary it will “amend the Communications Act of 1934 to require recipients of universal service support for schools and libraries to protect minors from commercial social networking websites and chat rooms.”

Adults will be able to ask for the library’s permission to use such sites. The Resolution will now go to the US Senate for a vote before being offered to the President for signature into law.

The rhetoric from advocates was all about MySpace. For example, Texas Republican Ted Poe says, “social networking sites such as MySpace and chat rooms have allowed sexual predators to sneak into homes and solicit kids.”

An incredibly vague law, DOPA will require schools and libraries to block access to a potentially huge range of sites on the internet. The goal is to protect children from adult predators. Sites that must be blocked include those that allow people to post profiles, include personal information and allow “communication among users.”
