Sometimes, despite your best efforts to keep a low profile on MySpace, your friends can blow your cover. They might leave a comment saying “WE’RE THE BEST SENIOR CLASS NORTHEAST HIGH SCHOOL HAS EVER SEEN” or “sorry to hear about your breakup, but you should have fun now that you’re single again” (yikes) -- and tell the world more about you than you want the world to know.

The Privacy Settings screen allows you to approve any comment your friend leaves for your profile page before it’s posted. Rather than shooting the comment directly onto your page, this setting sends you a message asking you to approve or deny the comment before it posts for all to see. The Privacy Setting screen also includes an option that limits comments on your blog entries to friends only.
