Is There Any Privacy at Myspace?
Myspace offers members the option to designate a profile as public or private. When you choose to have a private profile, only those people that you have selected as Myspace “friends” can view your profile, friends list, comments, etc. That’s the theory anyway… but in actual practice, a surprising number of “hacks” have been discovered that allow ANYONE to view information on Myspace profiles that are supposed to be private.
