Controversy
Some people think Myspace is a bad site, because it makes personal information very easy to find. Many parents do not like Myspace. They would like it to shut down.[4] Myspace says that they are a safe place for all people, and has rules to keep people safe.[5]
NBC's Dateline has a "To Catch a Predator" series that talks about Myspace's safety problems. Although Myspace has many contradictions against them, they have not shut down.
