Online networking sites like Myspace and Facebook have become extremely popular over the past years. But what happens when there's an account someone else created about you? What protection do you have?
Otisha Hayes is a 22-year-old, who works with 4th and 5th graders and has very strong religious beliefs. But one day she got a phone call from a woman asking why she had all of her personal information on her Facebook page, when so much of it was sexually explicit.
Hayes says this was the first she had heard of it, so she checked it out and found a page of images and quotes that were disturbing because of the sexual innuendo. That was back in February; since then, she's been fighting to have her good name restored, but every time the page is deleted, days later it's back up
Otisha says she has contacted both Myspace and Facebook five times telling them, "This is a fake profile on me with inappropriate content and it needs to be deleted ASAP." They sent an email back saying that the content had been removed, then a couple days later, it was back up again.
So who is responsible? Hayes says she knows.
It was after an argument with a friend, and blocking that person's access to her Myspace and Facebook pages, that all of a sudden her pages went from good to bad; someone had posted extremely sexually-explicit images and quotes on her page.
Even though she has contacted both companies, the loophole is that anyone can create a new email account, which can be used to create a new Myspace or Facebook account.
And while Hayes says she's keeping the faith that things will work out, she also says its time now to take legal action.
The local police are aware of the situation for the protection of Otisha Hayes, and she has contacted an attorney to take legal action. Hayes tells us that the companies have been co-operative with her requests, but wishes there was more security on both the MySpace and Facebook sites to prevent these kinds of things from happening.
Comment: Because of a number of deviant individuals who spend considerable amounts of time in making other people miserable, a group of deviant individuals in positions of power will gladly infringe more of our freedoms by monitoring our web whereabouts, and common people will be grateful for the "security" received. Now, doesn't that look like a "set up" to you?
