MySpace Hopes New Privacy Settings Will Bring Users Back

Angry at Facebook for misleading users? Come back to MySpace! Mike Jones, Co-President of MySpace, announced to day that they’ll soon launch new privacy settings. According to Jones, “Setting options will include public, friends only, or public to anyone 18 or over.” So I guess MySpace figures users will determine what’s appropriate for adults and what isn’t?

The company’s obvious position is that Facebook’s granular privacy settings are overly complicated. If that’s the company’s argument, they aren’t alone.
