Myspace Violates Own Privacy Policy

Today, Myspace modified their service to display the full name of the user behind a normal profile. At this time, it does not seem to affect band profiles.

This is a new addition to the site, most likely to match Facebook...yet Myspace clearly states in its account setup...that the first name and last name are "private and is used for search only."

Well, that isn't the case now...is it?

I have a request into Myspace customer service for more information.

-----------------------

UPDATE (11:28 CST) - I am still waiting on a official response to the disclosure, yet the service has been changed back...in just the last 5 mins. Perhaps work was being done on the site. Still expecting a official response to my query.
