"Myspace, the once mighty social network, has lost every single piece of content uploaded to its site before 2016, including millions of songs, photos and videos with no other home on the internet.
"Myspace, the once mighty social network, has lost every single piece of content uploaded to its site before 2016, including millions of songs, photos and videos with no other home on the internet.
The company is blaming a faulty server migration for the mass
deletion, which appears to have happened more than a year ago, when the
first reports appeared of users unable to access older content. The
company has confirmed to online archivists that music has been lost
permanently, dashing hopes that a backup could be used to permanently
protect the collection for future generations...
Some have questioned how the embattled company, which was purchased by Time Inc in 2016, could make such a blunder."
