If that was really it, why wouldn't they just control it with QoS? It seems they could've easily lowered the bandwidth priority to Myspace without just blocking it.

When I was in highschool, every site was blocked that allowed us to communicate with anyone. Email was banned, they had "filters" that never worked. Blocking Myspace at a college is stupid, it's not like you have to worry about them being picked up by a child predator. Heh, this isn’t surprising.

It's so popular and of course with that comes problems, and it all boils down to parents need to monitor their kids, but I think we will soon start seeing myspace being banned in a lot of schools, work areas, etc. Luckily I have both my bosses on mine :P I think it’s going to continue.
