Mass Hysteria

Posted on Tuesday 9 May 2006

If I have to watch one more alarmist news piece on MySpace, my head is going to explode. Yes, I’m sure unsavory people use the internet to do unsavory things. But they also use public parks or shopping malls to do unsavory things. The news hysteria seems to stem from an anxiety from the gap in cultural knowledge that parents (real or as imagined by news producers) feel in relation to the Internet. I’m probably in the minority on this issue, though, so expect reams of anti-MySpace bills to sail through your local legislature soon.
