Approval of MySpace sub-page
I found this orphaned sub-page: MySpace/Approval of MySpace. It's unreferenced and quite POV so I'm not sure if it'll be useful, but it was certainly relatively lost. -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:15, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
terms of service
I don't understand the terms of service issue. The link provided talked about what seemed like different text. Did myspace change their agreement at some point? --Gbleem 22:09, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Daily Reach
I added the request for an additional citation because I'm not sure that Alexa rankings justify the statement. Several sites seem to have a similar reach on Alexa's rough graph but as Alexa don't rank by reach but by page impressions I'm not sure that "many more than 5" is true. Any better reference?--Citizensmith 18:35, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

MySpace & Sex Crimes
I think it's really important to expand the legal section of this article. If done correctly, this can be very informative, though not necessarily negative or biased -- IMO there's no reason to play up lawsuits and crimes, as they speak for themselves.
There's a whole bunch of other crimes that have been associated with MySpace, and I think the current sub-heading is really misleading, as it makes it seem as if there have only been a few small issues with the site, which is completely untrue, there have been almost weekly issues this whole year.
Some articles I've found that I think would be good for either adding to the Legal sub-heading, or a whole new article on Myspace crime:

Police are investigating whether as many as seven teenage girls have been sexually assaulted by men they met through the ultra-popular Web site MySpace.com. "It is a predator's dream come true, this Web site," said Middletown Police Sgt. Bill McKenna. "Because not only can you see them, but you can see their friends. You can find out where they go to middle school and high school."
"It's possible for MySpace visitors to search users by schools, ages or geographical area. Magid tested out the site, by searching for young women in his area. He writes: "One of the girls, who is 16, has a sexually suggestive word as part of her user name. Thanks to MySpace, I have a pretty complete picture of her life. I know the day she was born, the hospital she was born in, her full name, where she goes to school, what she likes to eat, what time she goes to bed at night and her favorite fast-food restaurant."

A party in Boulder, Colorado turned into an ugly scene of rape and robbery, and police turned to the MySpace networking site to identify those responsible.
An unidentified 18-year-old woman found an old high school friend on MySpace and set up a drinking party at her mother's house in Boulder.
The underage drinking party that took place on February 23rd became out-of-control, the Daily Times-Call reported. "At some point, the victim was no longer aware of what was happening, and she was sexually assaulted."

June 12, 2006. NAPERVILLE, Ill. (Crime Library) — Jay D. Coffield of Morris, IL, age 44, was arrested in a coffee shop in Naperville on Friday, June 9, 2006. Morris expected to meet a 14-year-old girl he'd gotten to know via MySpace.com, the hugely popular personal networking and blogging domain typically geared towards young users. Instead, Jay Coffield was cuffed and taken to a jail in Joliet, IL.
Coffield had befriended a real 14-year-old, but on May 22, according to the Chicago Sun-Times, an older relative of the girl's reported the possibly improper relationship to Naperville police. Investigators then assumed the girl's online ID and proceeded to develop a relationship with Jay Coffield.

I am a girl who was on myspace underage..just to bug my cousin...then I found out that alot of my friends,and friend's siblings have myspace, and I agree that the age should be 18 and older because, the way these kids talk and the pictures and the lauguage that they use is very very very unacceptable..these girls, are putting these pictures on myspace and even a diary site named sitdiary,they are putting there life in MAJOR danger!Because people can very well copy those pictures into the pictures on there computer and put them on different sites.
If any of these kids parents knew what they were doing..these kids would be Grounded.....

Troye Newcomb knows many prostitutes. She hands out condoms in Chinatown.
One of her 19-year-old clients told her what some social workers already know: Pimps are recruiting girls on myspace.com.
Troye Newcomb, of Life Foundation, says, "I was told...yeah for sure...she's seen pimps on myspace and she has friends that have been talking to pimps on myspace."
Detective Chris Duque says, "Where kids hang...that's where preditor's hang.

Question
shouldnt there be a link to Category:MySpace_users on this page? Or am i missing it? --Joer80 20:40, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
TotallyDisputed?
Could whoever put the {{TotallyDisputed}} tag on this article, or anyone else who disuptes this article's neutrality and accuracy, address whatever concerns they might have? In addition, do we really need weasel words tags on every other section? While I think this page could use some work, I have removed TotallyDisputed pending discussion of neutrality and accuracy issues. szyslak 21:53, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

MySpace in Educational Settings
The paragraphs on Ivy Tech Community College in the MySpace in Education Settings section are in error and violate the privacy of the person quoted. The quote is taken out of context from an internal e-mail that was soliciting comments from college staff on a proposal to block MySpace from computers on the college network. The quote was not intended for publication. Mr. Bittles did not advocate "shutting down" MySpace, nor were "moral grounds" a reason for doing so. The college routinely blocks pornography sites from being viewed on college network computers because it is a violation of college's sexual harrassment policy to view or display pornography on college computers where they may be viewed by others. There was one incident of a student viewing pornographic images on MySpace in a manner that other students and college staff could see the images, but the proposal is actually based on three reasons: violation of college policy due to pornographic images on MySpace, a significant portion of bandwidth being used for traffic to and from MySpace, and lack of educational purpose for visiting the site. At this time, the issue is only open for discussion among college staff, and there are no plans or policies in place to block MySpace from college computers.
