Rebuttal for Jessica: Pro

In this rebuttal i will be rebutting against Jessica about if Social networks are harmful or not. But for my rebuttal i am saying that social networks ARE NOT HARMFUL. (My link should be right here -->http://socialnetworking.procon.org/<---)

The first point that i think you clearly made was that pedophiles were mostly online right? Well i have to say that most pedophiles on social networks are “43% of online sexual solicitors

were identified as being adolescents (under 18), 30% were adults between the ages of 18 and 21, and 9% were adults over the age of 21” while also in question was this really based off of opinion or fact as I have noticed there wasn’t real support behind that statement.

Another thing was that when i read your evidence... I’ve noticed that it says social networks builds fake relationship... but you can also think of it as helping relationships because you can’t be with the person you want to be 24/7. But with social networks, now you can help build on your relationship even though they aren’t there while making social network a great idea to help build onto relationship when it needs it most.

But there are even greater things about social network such as it “...bring people with common interests together, offer exposure to new ideas from around the world, and lower inhibitions to overcome social anxiety. People who have a difficulty communicating in person are more comfortable interacting via the Internet.” As social networking make people more comfortable and less shy so they are able to share there interest or ideas with whoever is interested in the same things.

Also social networking sites such as twitter was a great help in creating democracy in Iranian, and it was so important that on “...June 2009 that the US State Department asked Twitter to delay a scheduled network upgrade that would have taken the website offline at a busy time of day in Iran. Twitter complied and rescheduled the downtime to 1:30 am Tehran time. “ Even the government said they should wait to do maintenance when it was a major key factor in the protest after the Iranian presidential election.
