How do we keep our kids safe while still benefiting from the wonders of the web? How do we involve our community when that community is an online virtual space?
MySpace safety tools are developed with assistance from local law enforcement agencies. For example, Amber Alerts can be distributed to MySpace users who list specific zip codes in their profiles.
MySpace is working to build safety into the features it offers, and to provide additional safety features. MySpace works with communities in both the physical and virtual worlds to provide a safe environment.
MySpace origins tie into online music. Many independent bands make a name for themselves by setting up a MySpace account to promote their music.
MySpace offers school groups. These are mostly used by alumni. MySpace has a school hotline to help with resolving concerns.
