Wall Street Journal Investigation Into MySpace Was Quietly Killed

A few days ago the Wall Street Journal published a series of articles about a supposed Facebook privacy breach. We and others noted that the article was complete rubbish. We also noted that the Wall Street Journal's sister company, MySpace, wasn't mentioned in the article - either as a disclosure of a conflict of interest or a discussion of whether MySpace was doing the same thing. The WSJ was actually investigating MySpace, says a source close to the company, and were planning on publishing the information the investigation uncovered. MySpace has had three different CEOs in the last two years, as well as a period where they were led by co-presidents. If you count Jon Miller, who runs the whole show, they've had four CEOs. Based on MySpace's overall level of disorganization and constant leadership changes, we're not surprised that the WSJ investigation landed on their doorstep, and discovered questionable privacy practices. But the story was shelved.
