How do you make your MySpace profile private?

To view and edit your account privacy settings, click the “Change Settings” link next to “Privacy Settings” on the “Change Account Settings” page.

Users who are 14 or 15 years old are provided with an additional critical privacy setting that answers the question: “Who can view my full full profile?” The choices are:

My Friends Only
Anyone under 18 on MySpace
If you select the “My Friends Only” option, your profile is said to be “private.” This is the recommended setting for teens who are using MySpace for socializing with their real life friends—which is the only truly safe way to use MySpace if you’re a 14 or 15 year old.

If you select “Anyone under 18 on MySpace,” then your profile is said to be “public.” Anyone on MySpace who claims to be 14–17 years old will be able to view your full profile. Of course, this will include much older people who are pretending to be a teen.

With a private profile, you are in control of who can view your profile and contribute comments on an individual basis: only people on your friend list can do this. If your profile is public, then your profile will be visible to strangers.

MAKE SIRE YOU ONLY HAVE YOUR FRIENDS AND PEOPLE YOU KNOW ON THE SITE NOT PEOPLE THAT JUST ASK.
