MySpace.com Censors Users' Journals
Rupert Murdoch, the highly conservative, idiot head of News Corporation (which owns organizations with extremely asinine opinions like Fox News), recently convinced his board they needed to start buying into the Internet. Their first purchase was MySpace.com, an online journal service similar to Xanga and LiveJournal, for some $629m.
As The Independent reports, around the time that happened, any reference or link to rival site YouTube, was censored by way of removing the mention from the communication. MySpace users then created a forum to complain about the censorship, and the forum was subsequently shut down.
Since the censorship, hundreds of users have switched from MySpace to other online journal and blogging sites. Good for them.

Well that sucks, I just remembered my myspace password (after an 8 month brain fart) and updated my profile. I guess that's what I get for being a slacker!
