Part of the dispute with legal authorities was over the term “deletion” of profiles, MySpace officials said. Although the service has deleted the profiles from MySpace, information is collected in its database for law enforcement, Angus said.
I’d like the name of the guy responsible for MySpace’s user interface, actually. Talk about offenders.
UPDATE: I don’t know why I used a Mr. Softee face here. I, too, am deeply sorry.
