MySpace, the undisputed industry leader of the social networking scene, is in the middle of a PR nightmare, literally.

Schools banning MySpace because its "everybody's nightmare"

Whether or not the arguments are valid, the discussion can't be good for the social networking king. To have your dirty luandry aired before the world, week after week must be horrible.

MySpace will have to start showing their clientele (at least the ones old enough to be legal clientele) that they are making changes. Of course, just limiting the 'customizable-Ness' would be SO great for me.

HTML is power. In talented hands it can be a thing of beauty, but some people just shouldn't be given the power... ;)

I think this will be a major problem for MySpace, and such sites, over the coming years. It's much like when the net first started popping into high schools all e-mail services were banned.

Some creative thinking could get all these sites around it, and will probably be easier to tackle then the PR mess.

The problem likes in not addressing the issues. They've hidden long enough.
