Myspace has become a monster

Yesterday I saw an ad for a new phone coming out for I think Cingular that's biggest new feature is Myspace mobile. Now maybe this has been out for some time but I hadn't seen it until yesterday. Now it is possible for myspace users to see EVERYTHING happening on their precious profile right as they happen. When a dangerous social web site is making that much more revenue than those multiple movies combined, it really shows what our online culture is turning into.

Plea For Help Denied By MYSPACE.COM

I refuse to believe that nobility is just a state mind, that it no longer exist. I refuse to believe that a helpful hand is thing of the past, that each one of us are on there own in times of need. But comes a company like Myspace.com who makes me think that it is a thing of the past.

Just this month, my family went thru some tough times as our son had a lapse of judgement and runaway. Missing for 2 weeks but now He is back, safe with us once again. I have to tell you that it was the most grueling and worst feeling I've felt in my life. I don't wish this on any mom or parent.

For days there was no clue to where we could find him then suddenly we had a break. A popular site Myspace.com have the information that would lead us to where our son is. Unfortunately Myspace.com denied us of that information, sighting that it is a PRIVACY ISSUE.

Since MySpace.com Terms of Use Agreement under #12 Disclaimers. include the following,

"Under no circumstances shall MySpace.com be responsible for any loss or damage, including personal injury or death"

I guess they do not feel any kind of responsibility or have the GOOD CONSCIENCE of divulging that information that would lead to the location of a Missing Minor Child who they are aware could be in grave danger.

I am very glad we found our son, No thanks to Myspace.com. I am also very sad and furious that such people(Myspace.com Founders, Tom Anderson &#38; Chris DeWolfe), such company with NO GOOD CONSCIENCE exist.
