The trial started today from the incident that happened from 2006 when a 13 year old girl, Megan Meier, hung herself due to the comments made by a fake MySpace profile. A mother, daughter, and a acquaintance set up a phony MySpace profile in order to get to the bottom of an incident that happened between the mother's daughter and Megan Meier.
After a comment was sent out saying "The world will be better off without you." Megan then hung herself in her bedroom closet; the girl suffered from clinical depression and had self-esteem issues.
The courts have made clear that this is a "MySpace trial" to determine if they violated MySpace's terms of service and this is not if they are responsible for the girl's death.
We'll see what happens...
