Questões de vigilância e segurança nos Social Networking Sites

As conclusões de um estudo da Computing Which? indicam que os social networking sites (Bebo, MySpace) devem vigiar mais o que os seus utilizadores fazem on-line. Por exemplo, no caso do Bebo, uma imagem pornográfica permaneceu dois dias sem ser reportada.

Warnings over social site 'abuse'

Social networking sites such as Bebo and MySpace must do more to police what users do, warns Computing Which?
A study of the sites by the consumer watchdog unearthed pornographic images, evidence of bullying and inappropriate adverts.
It also proved easy to pose as a child as the sites did no age or ID checks.
"Teenage users need to be aware that there is no way of knowing who is behind the face of a 'friend'," said Jessica Ross, Computing Which? editor.
