Why Was Your Myspace Account Deleted?

Myspace Account Deleted?

Many people use Myspace for advancing their online and offline busnesses.

You may know of people who have had their Myspace account deleted, often without any explanation from Myspace.

So, why does Myspace delete accounts?

From their terms and conditions the only explanation for deleting your Myspace account is:

Your profile may be deleted and your Membership may be terminated without warning, if we believe that you are under 14 years of age, if we believe that you are under 18 years of age and you represent yourself as 18 or older, or if we believe you are over 18 and represent yourself as under 18.

It seems that the only valid reason for deleting accounts that are in accord with the Myspace terms and conditions is fraudulent age claims.

In addition, Myspace reserves the right to delete content from your site. Several places in the terms and conditions this right is described:


By displaying or publishing ("posting") any Content on or through the MySpace Services, you hereby grant to MySpace a limited license to use, modify, delete from, add to, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, and distribute such Content solely on or through the MySpace Services, including without limitation distributing part or all of the MySpace Website in any media formats and through any media channels, except Content marked “private” will not be distributed outside the MySpace Website.

and

MySpace may reject, refuse to post or delete any Content for any or no reason, including Content that in the sole judgment of MySpace violates this Agreement or which may be offensive, illegal or violate the rights of any person or entity, or harm or threaten the safety of any person or entity.


It seems that any other interference with your Myspace account is outside their terms and conditions.

Because of the importance of Myspace to an Internet marketer's finances, it is important that both the Internet marketer and Myspace live up to the agreed to terms and conditions.

Does anyone have any reason to believe that these terms are not be adhered to by Myspace?
