Report Weighs the Benefits and Risks of Social Networks

Report Weighs the Benefits and Risks of Social Networks:
The Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University is about to release a report that — according to The New York Times, which reviewed an early release — lifts the patina of pederasty that has long plagued social networks. While acknowledging the reality of isolated incidents, the report redirects the focus to the many positive aspects to social networks, and points out the adverse effects of child-child bullying both on and off the Net, according to The Times article.
