6. Megan's Story

from Main Accounts: The Story of MySpace · host iHeartPodcasts

The moral panic over online predators on MySpace was largely overblown, but there was some truth to these concerns.

And it set in motion events that would lead to MySpace’s eventual collapse.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
