Myspace Settles Privacy Probe With FTC

Why in the word would the FTC care about Myspace and its 3 active members? That place is so dead, "probing" them could probably get the FTC brought up on necrophilia charges.

The FTC said Tuesday that despite telling users it would not share personally identifiable information with others, Myspace gave advertisers users' "Friend ID" numbers. That allowed advertisers to find users' publicly available personal information, often including full names, and could even lead advertisers to discover users' web-browsing activity.
