Myspace died years ago. But 1 billion dead profiles are still valuable; they were bought by ad-tech firm Viant, which became part of Time Inc. in 2016. So the behaviourally targeted ads of today may contain hints of our long-lost teenage digital selves. Wistful or creeped out?

You can't read the wall history of a past account? Just images are visible afaik. I had a friend who died and I thought we lost all wall conversations. Am I wrong?
