Why?

Why join this boycott? Because it helps others to learn that myspace isnt all that safe. It might be laughs and fun right now but until someone gets raped and killed, youll see why we tried to stop it.

this is ridiculous. how about boycotting parking lots? people get raped in them, too. people need to stop posting identifiable info and just be responsible. boycotting myspace will not prevent irresponsible people from getting into trouble.

Its the user
I am not saying that myspace is a safe place there are no safe places on the net now adays. but it is up to the user to make sure they are smart with their decisions. if you tell someone that you never have met stuf about u that they could track u with its your own fault. it is not the fault of the company that someone doesn't have enough smarts to keep personal info to themselves. the problem today is that everyone wants things to b perfect and you know what it never will be so live with it and just be smart and watch out for yourself

im bored and so am i
dude, how stupid do you have to be to meet someone online? if you get raped by someone online, that's NOT myspace's fault. you have a responsibility, just as you do eating raw or undercooked eggs in a resturant. leaving myspace isn't going to stop internet rape. you'd have to remove yourself from the internet completely. specifically myspace rejection the way to go? i don't think so.

Ridiculous
While this may be a decent idea, this is pretty ludicrous. Frankly, the whole concept of "Myspace" was pretty ingenous be whomever set it up. It is the users of Myspace who have corupted it and have damaged themselves in the process. I'm confident that anyone who has even been raped or killed was at fault in posting too much information.

Here's an analogy
Do you think having the ability to use something like PGP to encrypt your email is bad because terrorists use it as well? The good outways the bad. I don't like myspace.com but the website is a great idea, just because stalkers use it doesn't mean it's bad. It just means that people need to be more educated before using getting caught up with something like that.

It's safe, if...
You use common sense. Don't meet strangers. Don't give out personal information. Don't be stupid. You can't be raped or killed over the Internet.
Posted by Rob Davy


Scare Tactics..
If a person gets raped over myspace, it's there own fault. People put out too much information in their profiles, or just plainly act like they totally wouldn't if they knew the people in person...this boycott..saying "Quit myspace, cause the chances are.. YOU GON GET RAPED" is retarded. BTW, this was written by a 15 year old teen.

Can we boycott walking down the street or living in a big city? I think we should. It's not worth losing your life over. Actually, I'm not even pissed off that you're boycotting MySpace. I'm pissed off at the terrible design of this site that makes me want to go shove my balls in the oven becaue it would feel better than looking at this site.

How is this different...
From people meeting at a bar, going home with them and then killing you? Or a molester going to a school and kidnapping a kid or teen? Or a yahoo chatroom with profile? Or a goecities or AOL hometown webpage? Or a yahoo Groups page where people meet every week for events? Or ZABASEARCH.com where you can fine ANYONES info?? Simply put myspace is another website in the crowd of thousands. Trying to single out myspace is simply retarded. Sure bad things happen but they happen all the time in anything we do that is irresponsible. Is it myspace's fault when grown people decide to meet psycos? It's parents reposability for what their kids do on the web. If it wasnt myspace well....they could learn HTML and create their own web page. (AOLhometown and GEOCITIES) Why dont you ban the whole internet while you are at it? Because if it wasnt for the internet this stuff would not happen at all. And if you're stupid enough to put too much personal info about you, then you are just that. STUPID! Crazy people are out there believe it or not, internet or no internet, myspace or no myspace. This is my 2 cents worth. What do you think? ~mario

It's an instrument
To sum everything up... - This "boycott" is meant to protest TEEN CULTURE/SOCIETY AND ONLINE STUPIDITY more than Myspace itself... which is fine; just say that. I would happily join your cause. - Myspace encompasses ALL KINDS of culture, not just "emo/scene" and "skanks," or whatever. - Myspace, like anything else, can be used for BOTH GOOD AND BAD. - Myspace CAN be dangerous, but only if you're stupid. I keep in touch with many, many friends through Myspace. I have no doubt that without it, I would not maintain relationships with these people. Seriously, I'm SO glad that Myspace exists. You're angry because, in your view, society is messed up (I happen to agree). Myspace is only one form of society/culture, though... What else are you doing to protest society? Do you boycott TV? What about movies? Did you drop out of school because other girls dressed like skanks? Do/did you skip parties where there was underage drinking? Just a few rhetorical questions. Oh, and in my opinion, Myspace is NOT all about the "emo/scene" kids-- it's about whoever you want it to be about. In my case, it's just my friends. But yes, there ARE stalkers/creeps/whatever out there... but why would you give them personal information?? I'm a little hypocritical on this one... but I'm playing the odds. For 99.9% of people on myspace, there is safety in anonymity... I don't feel that I'm a very likely candidate to be in the .1% of users that is targeted by creeps, so I don't protect my information all that much. Myspace only hurts the unwary. Just exercise a little bit of caution and you'll be fine... don't add strangers. I have met a few people on Myspace, but they are friends of friends; I know they're not posers.

IDIOTS
Don't boycott a social networking tool because some people use it to commit crimes. That's like boycotting a knife company because some people use them for murder.


Truth be told:
The occasional bleak truth actually hurts. People put themselves in comprimising situations. So, to slander a website, because some "kids" didn't have the proper parenting to combat these types of situations, is kinda sad. Not that i don't agree with your "movement" but in the end the only thing people will learn is how to delete thier myspace account. yay..... Why not promote awareness. Give people the facts about the given situation and maybe they'll act a bit more responsible. Make people smarter. Not judgemental. -Zelleie-
Posted by LB



Um rape happens just like murder and all sorts of other bad stuff. Boycotting myspace wont make less rapists it just means they will get the job done a different way. How different is it to go on a date with some one you just met in real life do you know them? How can you ever meet people in real life if you are always afraid that the might just kill you? Be safe and stay on myspace do what you want some people get raped myspace or no myspace. Girls just carry a tazer or something!
Posted by Dookie



YAY, let me put my real name, real address, real phone #, aim name, email, blood type, birth mark locations, mothers maiden name, sleep schedule, key code to the garage online for everyone to see..... and then those types of people are shocked when they get raped....
Posted by Bob


Such a good person
When someone is killed and raped, or raped and killed, we'll be sorry because we didn't listen to your webpage? Sure we all feel sorry for people who get "pwned" but uh, Get some sense. Can we boycott your stupidity? -jeffrey


Silliness
What do I think? I think that you've taken a position without facts to back it up. While it is possible that people have suffered as a result of Myspace, you must prove two things. One, you must provide actual documented cases in which someone has been murdered, raped, or kidnapped. Second, you must prove that the incidences are beyond what is normal. I've not seen evidence of either on this site. Now... granted, Myspace is, in many respects, a thinly disguised personals site. Again, granted, people are not using Myspace for what it was (supposedly) intended for. And... as in all popular websites, there are stalkers and creeps willing to go beyond the bounds of decent behavior. Now... perhaps you'd be better served if you attempted to educate the children on Myspace about safe profiling, throwaway e-mail addresses, and general common sense. Trying to scare them with "OMG RAPE MURDER KASHI CEREAL" is not only annoying... it is unethical. Do I have Myspace? Yes. Am I an angsty emo / goth / skank child? Hardly. I use Myspace to learn a bit about those people that I work with, for the most part. If something personal gets posted, I don't fret... after all, anyone wanting to stalk me could find out where I live by simply WHOISing my domain. Does that make me careless? Nah. It just makes me non-anonymous.

Stupid
Hey ASHLEIGH, ERIN, ALISHA, JESSICA, and VICKY. I can see that you are about 12 years old from your superb typing/spelling skills. First off, vicky you need to shoot your parents for naming you vicky. Second the rest of you have attractive names and if you want to be raped then please by all means keep this website up long enough for us to look up your info from the internet address used to edit it. Thank you. -The rapists for $200 PS. Vicky, you need not worry, you have an ugly sounding name and that is a major turn off. You can always watch if you like.

Misguided
Note: My Comment from Digg It has nothing to do with MySpace. I know the generation that comes after my own believes that all this must be unique to their Internet generation, but murders, stalkers, and rapists are nothing new. For MILLENNIA people have been raping and killing. MySpace is nothing more than a virtual sheet of paper. The fact that a person writes down their name, phone number, and address on the paper they are given is a mental problem. Do these girls honestly believe for one second that if MySpace disappeared completely, that these same people wouldn't find a different message board, mailing list, or IRC channel with which to share personal information? It's a sick compulsion, pathologically naive, I have a friend who suffers from the same compulsion. He can't play a game (like a MMORPG) without fostering personal connections with the people in the game. Sharing out-of-character information with them like his name, phone number, location, age, etc. When I play a game, that's all it is to me, a game. I have no desire to want to know the other people beyond their characters. Every time you post on the Internet, you should ask yourself "Would I write this information down on paper and sail it over a prison wall?" Even people like Ted Bundy have access to everything you write on-line. So if you wouldn't write it down and give it to him, why would you write it in public anywhere? On top of that, for a boycott to be successful, you need to have leverage. Usually in the form of money. Saying you're boycotting MySpace is like boycotting a free lemonade stand. Why does the guy running the stand give a damn whether or not you refuse to drink his lemonade for free?
Posted by raisenero



Listen, if you want to stop these crimes, then how about educating people on what they should and should not put on their page? Myspace isn't the problem here. It's the uneducated person's fault. These type of pedophiles will get what they want regardless of whether they find it from Myspace or some other site. I personally use Myspace to keep in touch with friends that no longer live near me. I also use it to keep in touch with those friends that are overseas serving our country. Boycotting Myspace won't solve anything.

Ok, here's my 2 cents
Well, here's my 2 cents: At first, I hated myspace, along with xangas, AIM, and blogs in general. I hated them because they were cheesy, useless, and overall overrated and way too popular. I have all 3 though, but I never use xanga anymore, haven't touched it in over a year. AIM, I only use when I have hardheaded friends who absolutely REFUSE to switch to another IM client (because they're idiots) Myspace has actually proven itself useful to people like me who can't always afford domain names. I have an amateur film-making company where I make little short films. I can't afford a domain name, so what I did was I got a myspace filmmaker account and put my videos on there using Youtube. What a lot of people don't realize is that Myspace isn't the typical stereotype of a blogger / teenage / dating / whatever community. That's what my first impression was, but it's actually quite unique. I have my own personal myspace, but I don't put information that I don't feel comfortable revealing onto it. If someone's stupid enough to put their personal information onto a public site, then that's not the website's fault. I like myspace, it provides a nice layout, and a nice way to advertise your things, and an uncomplicated linking URL with which to link people. Since it's free, why not? Personally I mainly only use my personal myspace so that me and my close friends can just chill and do whatever on them. I realize that there's a thing called 'e-mail' and 'instant messenger', but a page dedicated to yourself and your friends is kinda cool. Overall, if you don't like myspace, ok, don't have anything to do with it. If you like it, go for it! If you like it and you're stupid enough to reveal personal information and get raped, well then that's your fault for being an idiot. Websites don't rape people, rapists who look at idiots' websites do.

Children on MySpace
Kids should just plain NOT be allowed. It's ridiculous. There are 13 and 14 year old girls posing in bikinis (or less), who are naive enough to BELIEVE anything they read in email. MySpace is not a SAFE place for kids whatsoever. However Myspace is a GREAT place for me and other grown-ups to play grown up games, hook up for shows, make friends, meet f0ck buddies, or whatever. I would never boycott MySpace. BUT if Tom has any sense (and I think he does) he will make it an adults only community, quick-like. He has so many members now, he would be a fool to continue using chidren to build it. There is literally no difference between letting kids play on MySpace and serving them alcohol. Take this from an ex-teenaged girl. Positive attention from men/boys is just as intoxicating as are booze and drugs. It does affect your judgement, lower your IQ, and eliminate inhibitions. That being said, if you are an adult woman meeting a stranger from MySpace (or anywhere on the internet) for the first time in a private setting, survival of the fittest dictates your demise. Sorry. Stupidity can get you killed. No matter how old you are. If you must meet a stranger from the internet, you must follow at least two simple rules. First, public meetings ONLY the first 4 or 5 times. It may not keep you perfectly safe but it will certainly give you a better idea of who the person really is. Secondly, FOLLOW your gut. If a guy creeps you out ONCE, even with a message or comment, ditch him. Don't even give him the chance to explain. Those creepy feelings you get in the pit of your stomach are instinctual and they happen for your protection.

myspace protects kids
If myspace didn't allow kids, what would they do? they'd lie and say they were 18 or older. That causes much worse problems!! Myspace is working with law enforcement wiredsafety.org, parry aftab and a bunch of other safety programs. if kids don't hang out @ myspace, they'd go somewhere that didn't protect kids. kids lie and put themselves in danger everyday/everywhere. parents need to protect them. banning myspace will just cauuse worse problems. your naive thinking will get the internet banned -- not save people.
Posted by Mommy


teach not boycott
instead of trying to boycott the only place that really cares about kids online, you should devote your energy to teaching kids and parents about how to protect themselves.<br> check out the safety tips at myspace. read others online. talk to kids and parents. <br>your naivity will only lead to worse problems. educate yourself and others before you attack!

IDIOTS. Boycotting MySpace will do nothing. Do you understand how many profile sites there are on the web? Thousands. Trust me, if you want to boycott MySpace, just get off my internets and die plzthxbye.

myspace is SAFE
myspace is safe! I have one myself and you can avoid online predators. What I do is I never post how old I am or where I live. I don't give out my email or anything. The people who got raped are stupid because they gave out information so that the predator could come to their house. If you are careful you can avoid danger. I say I am 100 years old and that i live on pluto so no way could I be in danger. That's what everybody should do..

reasons for myspace
Myspace should not be boycotted. thats just plain stupid!! I only talk to people I know and if theres somebody I dont know who wants to be my friend I just ignore them and get on with my life!! I moved away from old friends and I talk to them ONLY through myspace. For you idiots that want to boycott it, you need to get a life. I bet most of you have never ever been on Myspace and know what you can do. You just say that because the news talks about it 24/7 and they always look at Myspace negatively. Those problems occured because the kids were stupid and talked to people they didnt know and told them their address and phone number. You can even block people if you wish to..

Posted by Tizzy


Boycott it anyway...
99.9999999999% of myspace consists of a buncha posers who wanna get laid and look so cool, either by looking emo and sad and like "omfg i wanna die" and cutting themselves, or by showing themselves in "cool" poses or half naked poses. It makes me sick how much poserdom there is on myspace.


You are ass backwards
This is like when people freaked out with the invention of the video camera. It's the age of communication, and this is the most innovative way to connect the world. Some people used the video camera to create documentaries, and capture the news, and some used it for pornography. There will always be good vs. evil. ALSO. I'm hearing you complain more about the 'half naked girls' than anything else. Does someone sound jealous. I dont' add or communicate with strangers, I've had thousands of people message me, and i delete all. This is how I stay in touch with my freinds, post comments and have fun. The best part is the bulletins, while I'm at work my freinds post the funniest, most interesting and random comments. I dont even use my email anymore. And you morons need to realize that anyone can create a website, before myspace was created I was one of the first people in college to have a personal website.... you can't stop technology, so get your head out of your ass.
Posted by Sharon


Wrong reasons
I think you're listing the wrong reasons to avoid Myspace, and perhaps giving people who do a false sense of security. Giving too much personal information out on public websites is dangerous. Meeting people you talk to on the Internet is potentially dangerous. Believing everything people tell you is dangerous. These things were commonplace before Myspace; the same problems existed ten years ago. The same problems will exist when Myspace is replaced by something that sucks less. Don't post addresses, phone numbers, names of places you hang out, the name of your school or pictures that give away where you live, work or go to school. If you're going to meet someone in person, bring friends and do it in a public place. Don't assume people are who they say they are. That said, you SHOULD get off Myspace because it's poorly designed and inhabited by a bunch of morons.

Please read whole thing
Please read whole thing and try to understand:) look if you want people to boycott myspace then you should want them to boycott the internet all together and seeing that you obviously haven't stopped using the internet makes u a hypocrite. You can't stop people from preying on other people. if you want to do something to stop people from raping little kids, then start a program to make parents/guardians more vigilent (sp?) to their childrens actions and whereabouts. I respect what you are trying to do but u are being way too radical. your putting too much energy into the wrong action, you should put it towards something that will actually reduce sexual solicitation etc. The safety of a child/ or even some adults isn't the fault of the internet(though i am sure it doesn't help in most cases) i am sorry to say dear, that even if you shut myspace down, you won't stop rapes, violence, etc. All those things can happen anywhere. And i will agree myspace at times can be very annoying with stupid people, but for the people (like myself) who use it to keep in touch with family and friends shouldn't be punished for people you guys are annoyed at the "poser" types and paranoid about the "raper" types. Please, try to understand, broaden your way of thinking and focus your idea somewhere that it will do some good. With much respect, Heather and please if you would like to send me hate mail, send it to my myspace (not to be an asshole) http://www.myspace.com/yunaclone&#65007;

Myspace is not bad some girls are just Fuckin retarted, and some guys are Fucking sick
Myspace isn't a bad place so stop ragging on it. its an awesome way to keep in touch with people you havn't talked to in a while or met at a party or somthing. But, if your a dumb girl who wants a boyfriend so they put sick ass pics of themselves thinking that guys like that. your just degrading yourself! Its unfair to say myspace is a place for rape cuz honestly what kinda dumbass would go and meet a guy you didn't even know by yourself! your just asking to be raped you should know better! and meeting people on myspace isn't cool! get a real life, and a personality and go out and meet people the same way your parents met! the old way of actually meeting a person instead of meeting someone online who lives in a different state!&#65007;

You're an idiot if you give your actual address and stuff on myspace. I always make it up. Ridiculous. It's peoples own fault. They should be more careful. This site is equally as ridiculous as the people who put there actual address' etc on myspace and other sites.

Myspace is dumb!
It's hard for me to believe that people of the older generation use this place like their teen children do. How about calling up your friend to say hello or going out with them, instead of posting some stupid comment with a stupid picture on their "site". Majority of those sites you can't even read anything on them. Who really cares that you kiss like a fish and that if you were a car you would be a corvette?? No one cares! Maybe for the teen generation but for people in their late 20s, 30s and even 40s..how about getting a life? My friends want me to get one but I refuse. I like to TALK to people in person, call me strange! LOL I think it's these older people trying to be hip and young again...ohhhh ohhh do I smell a mid life crisis??? LOL Bottom line...myspace sucks! :-)

keep myspace
Something I really hate is this. Why can't girls get half a brain and stop being so stupid when it comes to myspace. If your 17 stop saying your older and blaiming myspace for getting your dumb ass raped. I'm sorry if this has happened to you. But well duh is it myspace's fault that you decided to go meet with these guys? Shouldn't you know better? Is it their fault you lied on your profile? NO and NO. So stop trying to do a boycott for ending myspace. Just grow up!!! Myspace should then have something where if your too immature to tell everybody your own age then your parents should have to aprove of your profile or something. Or at least block older men from talking to you without the "children" having the right to change it. KEEP MYSPACE&#65007;

Most people haven't relized it yet but myspace was created it a hook up website.Im pretty sure that somewhere out the in the world other people have been killed or rape or what ever... but why do people bring so much attention o thei perticular website. i think that if your going to protest against myspace then you should protest other hook up websites...&#65007; &#65007;

well, I am sorry that your friend died but blaming it on myspace? now thats kind of pathetic. just because it was through myspace doesnt mean you have to blame myspace. she gave too much info on her profile...and if she was on any other website the same thing would have happened.
Posted by aimee



"add [[myspace rejection]] to your profile to show YOU care and make a difference. Spread it on to your friends as well." Isn't is a bit hipocritical to urge people to reject myspace and yet encourage them to 'spread the word' by the use of myspace or similar websites?
Posted by s.t


i think its way 2 stupid
i think myspace its dumb ur saying ur life is not worth. so let sum1 have it! i think kids think its so cool i think its wrong so plz spread the luv yall!


Just so you know...
I do have a Myspace, but only because that is the only way I have to contact some people (that I already knew, so no worries there). I have no information about where I live or what schools I go to, or any pictures of myself. If only we could make people more cautious and safe. But, we can't. But that's not why I'm here. I'm here to tell you that when you say 'Myspace Rejection Boycott' it litterally means to boycott a Myspace rejection (meaning, you think we should all have Myspaces). To sound better you should either say 'Myspace Boycott,' or 'Myspace Rejection.' Not both at once.

YOU GUYS TOTALLY TRIED TO GET MY PERSONAL INFORMATION! MY NAME AND MY EMAIL ADDRESS! UH OH! mmhmm, I've given my name and email address and phone number and address out. I'm still here, and my asshole is as tight as it was the day i was born.&#65007;

My space has ruined our kids
I had to withdraw my 15 year-old daughter from the school that she has been attending for the past ten years due to myspace. I had to relocate her. This has been the most devistating time of our lives. After removing her from this area, there were threatening messages on her myspace. Myspace doesnt make it easy to delete your account. The people who started myspace should be held accountable and instead they are billionaires... Our kids aren't safe.


ridiculous
the only reason for this is because of its popularity!!! Whether its myspace or anywhere else the risks are there. Popularity makes it a target. Fact is you can get raped tomorrow going somewhere if your not careful. What people do on the internet is there business. Young teenagers girls posting provocative pics of them on myspace isnt the websites fault. Although they should moniter better content. Young people who put up those pics weren't like that because of myspace. They were like that before and probably will be like that if there were no myspace. Myspace is a site where people go, a place. Like anywhere a club, bar, movies anywhere you act accordingly and have control what you do. Online you have even more control because no one can physically harm you. You dont have to meet anyone and you dont have to talk to anyone. Accountablity needs to lie with who is responsible. Myspace is not responsible for people's actions. So dont put blame on myspace when the blame lies with those people who are at fault!

DO NOT BE DUMB
If you are on myspace u should only be friends on it witht he people u know and if u do get raped its ur own fault for ur own stupidity
Posted by Unknown


How Pathetic
Just another case of "blame someone else" society. Blame the perpetrator. Blame the girl who was stupid enough to meet someone like that online. Blame the parents for not raising their daughter with more common sense. Myspace only ever created a place for genuine people to meet other genuine people, and like any huge system, theres gonna be bad apples. Thats life. But to blame Myspace? Thats just idiotic. They never suggested to this man that he should abuse the system in this way, and they never advised underage girls to meet perfect strangers theyve only ever talked to online. And who knows... i wonder if anyone's met a dangerous fellow through this very campaign of yours. But that wouldnt be your fault, would it?
