Everyone’s first “friend,” Myspace Tom, has become something of a meme in the last few days. Some might say you either die a Tom, or live long enough to see yourself become a Zuck. > As much as we’d like to believe the early 2000s were an innocent era, the thing is, Myspace did sell your data—and your teenage profile can still be used to help advertisers target you. Myspace sold your profile, and mine, to ad tech giant Viant in 2011, which in turn was bought by Time, Inc in 2016.
