POPSMySpace Security - Ineffective Against Predators I have monitored my youngest child's progress on the web (she's now 20), and have taught her how to survive and evade the predators. MY OPINION: Nothing (no online security measures) can take the place of proper parental concern and instruction!

POPSSexual Predators Get New Icon Good move! I have always warned my children to beware of giving out ANY personal info online! Good to know that the internet "gods" are watching out for us. Let's see how long before this gets abused too!

POPSVW Wants Identity of Nazi-Themed YouTube Video Creator My granddaughter had several AMV's pulled by YouTube due to reported copyright violations, even though she posted a disclaimer that she claimed NO OWNERSHIP to the music or the videos used. I guess YouTube is getting more cautious about possible legal complications like this one.

POPSWeb Ad Blocking May Not Be Legal I use the Firefox browser exclusively, and love the ad blocking feature. I have seen several people's pages on MySpace that have the ad from the editing page blocking the function buttons on their page. My daughter and granddaughter both remove these gaudy, large ad banners when the are designing or editing their pages. When I used to record on a VCR from the Local TV stations, I was one of those who stopped to edit out the commercials. It is so aggravating to watch commercial TV and have the program or movie stop every 15 minutes for 5 minutes of mostly vapid, inane commercials. So ... I guess I'm a law breaker! (LOL ... I'm sticking with my '60's rebel image xp)
