MediaSnack-snack-snackers#6
[SUMMARY—Quotes which illustrate.]
(WORLD) MediaSnackers are being served more and more ways to snack on their chosen media than ever. It's hard to differentiate between companies and start-ups enabling snacking or the snacking trends driving media platform development, but here are a couple of quotes from the 'experts' to sum it all up for any 'MediaSnacker-virgins':
The fears are so painfully overblown, is there porn on MySpace? Of course. And bullying, sexual teasing and harassment are rampant among teenagers. It is how you learn to make meaning, cultural roles, norms. These kids need to explore their life among strangers. Teach them how to negotiate this new world. They need these public spaces now that other public spaces are closed to them. They need a place that is theirs. We should not always be chasing them and stopping them from growing up.
Danah Boyd quoted from this article.
We are committed to keeping sex offenders off MySpace. Sentinel Safe will allow us to aggregate all publicly available sex offender databases into a real-time searchable form, making it easy to cross-reference and remove known registered sex offenders from the MySpace community. The creation of this first-of-its-kind real-time searchable database technology is a significant step to keep our members as safe as possible.
Chief Security Officer, Hemanshu Nigam, talking about plans to make MySpace safer.
Children are doing this quite innocently. We don't need to criminalise them.
Robin Hart of Intuitive Media whose survey found almost a third 1,500 eight to 13-year-olds shared music via their mobiles.
