After discovering the scary facts about the real levels of Privacy of Facebook, especially after people consider it MORE private then other networking site’s has prompted me to look in MySpace and compare the two’s terms and conditions.
The first thing I discovered was the MySpace allows any content deemed offensive to be blocked with the click of a button.
The Button which is placed under all photo’s video’s and comments says “report Offensive Content” which notifies MySpace immediately.
I also found that MySpace has the right to take legal action for offending content, such as racism, nudity or for collecting private information, video or photo’s of other users without their permission.
MySpace does state in their Terms of Service that they can use or edit your content, however I found that the difference between Facebook and MySpace is that MySpace grants itself a limited license to your content and in its terms and Conditions carefully states out what those limits are, where as Facebook simply grants itself access to ALL user content and tries to hide this fact.
MySpace does not claim any ownership to owners photo’s, video’s or anything else that is posted through the MySpace service but it does have the right to modify, delete from, add to, publicly perform, reproduce and distribute the content on the MySpace Site.
If the user sets their profile to private they do however have more control over the content and MySpace has no right to distribute any such material.
