No, but nearly 30,00 users did disappear.  Why?  Because they were sex offenders and their profile was deleted.

From Tech Crunch…

MySpace.com
has found and deleted profiles of 29,000 convicted sex offenders, more
than four times the initial 7,000 profiles they claimed in May. The
numbers were discovered after MySpace turned over info detailing the
offenders they had removed from the service. MySpace turned over the
records after states filed a formal legal request.

Please do this for your church…

  1. Encourage all parents to have their kids set their profile to PRIVATE.
  2. Encourage parents to monitor what is on the pages of their
    child.  So in other words, kids can only use this if their parents can
    look at it.
  3. Think about Facebook instead.  It seems to be safer as it is less anonymous.
