I'm going to vote for incompetence, rather than evil, despite Murdoch owning MySpace.
The creators of MySpace are clearly a few kinds of incompetent (just take a look at their fucking website!). Their incompetence is magnified by being one of the most popular sites on Das Intarweb.
It is far more plausible to me that they screwed up. Surely there's a wish to push a political agenda on MySpace by News Corp. However, if/when it appears, it will not be something as silly as possible sexual orientation settings.
Nevermind that doing something that would cause a non-trivial chunk of their users to revolt, leave, etc.... I'm sure they like money WAY more than they like sticking it to homosexuals by taking away their ability to be out on MySpace.
