In some ways I think social media dangers are potentially more damaging than traditional cybersquatting. Most cybersquatting is done largely through the desire to make a quick buck, rather than actively to damage someone’s reputation.

But certainly as social media sites become more mainstream there’s opportunities for them to be used in an actively malicious manner. And in some ways the less educated to the workings of the network the more gullible people are likely to be in terms of believing it.

To be honest it’s something that’s already reared its head most obviously at MySpace. Given that that *is* considered a reasonable forum for artists to have profiles, it’s quite open (and has been abused) in terms of fake profiles being developed.
