This seems to just be blogspam that links to two different reddit threads, and one's over a year old. The whole story appears to be based off a single screenshot of an email from over 7 months ago [1], where you can't even see the actual question they're responding to. Is there a better source for this claim somewhere?

It's literally a banner on https://myspace.com/ https://myspace.com/ right now "As a result of a server migration project, any photos, videos, and audio files you uploaded more than three years ago may no longer be available on or from Myspace. We apologize for the inconvenience. If you would like more information, please contact our Data Protection Officer at DPO@myspace.com."

  Weird, I don't see that banner. Here's a forum post that mentions it from over 7 months ago though, and it sounds like it might only appear for visitors from certain locations: https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,114746.0.html https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,114746.0.html Either way, the message in that banner makes it sound both more severe (includes photos and videos too) and less certain. It's also strange that this is suddenly getting attention today if that banner's been there for so long.

    Oh that's weird. I'm also getting the EU cookie acceptance banners as well. I'm in Australia (definitely not in the EU). Perhaps they tied the data deletion banner into the EU cookie acceptable banner? You know I'm starting to think that MySpace isn't well run... Screenshot of the banner i see for reference: https://imgur.com/GDrYqST https://imgur.com/GDrYqST

One of those threads links to a support article that seemingly hints at data loss: https://help.myspace.com/hc/en-us/articles/202233310-Where-Is-All-My-Old-Stuff-?mobile_site=true https://help.myspace.com/hc/en-us/articles/202233310-Where-I... It looks like one of their triages has been to link to YouTube copies of tracks if available.
