Eldorado Posted March 18, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) MySpace, one of the first online social networks, has apologised after a server migration caused a huge loss of data. A message on its website says that "any photos, videos and audio files" uploaded more than three years ago may no longer be available.

Orphalesion Posted March 18, 2019 #5 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Personally i never used my space....but fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..... that's scary and upsetting... In the digital age we are so used to everything being just always there that we have forgotten that loss of information and media is a very real thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in a malicious way, but in a "we can't be bothered with the effort and cost of migrating and hosting 50 million old MP3s'." you just do not say something like if it were not true. if they had continue to thrive, then the can not be bothered would not have let to the "Flagrant incompetence" Here could be the reason : Quote The platform has waned in popularity since it was founded in 2003 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/technology-47610936 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
