What is Myspace?

Myspace is an online social network and digital music library where you can upload and share music, videos, GIFs, photos and watch live streamed shows. You can also make friends, that are called connections, follow other profiles, send private text messages and publicly comment on posts.

Myspace is targeted at the creative community, connecting fans and promoting artists from all types of industries. Profiles are public and can be viewed by anyone, even if they don’t have a Myspace account, however you can change your profile to private by updating your privacy settings. You can find people by searching their name, email address or by using the search filters. 

Content posted on open profiles, like Myspace, can appear elsewhere online, such as Google search results.

The eSafety Guide helps you find out how to protect your personal information and report harmful content on common social media, games, apps and sites. Entries are for information only and are not reviews or endorsements by eSafety. Before choosing to use any online service or platform it’s best to:

  • do your own research to understand the risks and benefits
  • check the age rating and requirements
  • consider privacy
  • check the permissions and other settings
  • check the in-app reporting options.

If you are a parent or carer who is deciding whether a child should be allowed to use an online service or platform, you can also:

  • consider your child's readiness for the types of content and experiences they might encounter
  • help them understand what to do if they need help
  • provide ongoing support and monitoring, for example through regular check-ins with your child
  • agree to some rules about use of each service or platform.

To find out more, you can read the App checklist for parents, as well as information about parental controls in social media, games and apps and mental wellbeing resources for families.
