Official notice that Myspace has lost all 12 years' worth of data

by Andrew Mager

The service has been launched since 2003, and it is also called the strongest SNS for a while, and it is Myspace that competes against Facebook and YouTube , but as of 2019, the former momentum has been lost. On the contrary, although the situation where the user could not access the music data that had been uploaded before continues, Myspace has officially recognized the loss of the data, and the online bulletin board Reddit makes a sad cry for the users who lost their memories with the data. It is a situation to raise.

A year ago it was posted to Reddit that "Myspace's music player has stopped working". Myspace initially claimed that it was in the process of recovering, but later it displayed the following message to the user on the website:

"As a result of the server migration project, photos, videos and audio files uploaded over 3 years ago are no longer accessible. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we recommend that you keep backup data Please contact your Data Protection Officer for more information. "

We also know that, to users who emailed to Myspace, Myspace's data protection manager has sent a response that "There is no way to recover lost data."

There are various responses to Reddit's posts that deal with this topic, and people who write, "Please contact me if you want because I have a backup ..."

Some were disappointed that they could not get back the data of their deceased brothers as well.

In spite of such painful writing, the question "Who is Myspace?" Has started the story of "Facebook episode 0" and "Like a Anakin before being transformed into Darth Vader".

Also, some people write that they can get rid of all the content from a small failure in any company.

Boing Boing's writer Cory Doctoro also agrees, saying, "This is something that can happen with Facebook, Instagram, and Tumblr," while saying, "The Internet for a project that permanently stores data on the web. For Archive, I have a mirror server in Amsterdam, California, Egypt, and the Netherlands in the US Internet Archive is supported by well-meaning donations, and I am an annual donor. "
