MySpace.com: Big Brother?

July 20 2005
So you want to know the truth about MySpace.com? Well shortly after FOX bought out MySpace.com yesterday, this article came out about MySpace.com's privacy policy.

Basically, if you do not want to read the full article, MySpace's privacy policy claims all information, photos, blog posts, etc. as assets to MySpace, meaning that yesterday, when FOX bought MySpace, they also bought the right to use whatever information you have placed on MySpace.com for whatever reason they see fit. Technically, they could sell your information, photos, etc. to anyone they want and they would be fully protected under the agreement. The privacy policy gives them the right to do whatever they want.

Also, it has been found that MySpace has many ties with companies that supply pop-up ads and spyware/adware that is automatically installed on user's systems without permission. Adware and spyware is one of the biggest problems facing internet users today, and MySpace is one of the largest websites on the internet.

If you ware interested in this and the story about how MySpace quieted a college student who researched the background of this company, visit this page to read the full article.
