One of the MOST ANNOYING messages you will come across on the social networking community Myspace.
What it means is that that particular user has chosen to make the pictures in their photo page only available to friends, or sometimes nobody at all.

These
people may have a myriad of reasons to justify hiding their photos, which include:
Shyness (rather stupid, since you put yourself on the web in the first place - why not show all?)
To repel pervs - understandable, since there are certainly a lot out there. Not all
hot 19 year-old chicks on myspace want some icky
40-year old fat guy masturbating to their photos.
To prevent "fakes" - for some strange reason, certain losers love to steal
people's pictures, and make a fake profile using those pictures. The motives for this are lost on me.
Maybe these losers get off on how many views their fake profile gets??
To prevent picture theft and editing - again,
people sometimes steal the pictures, and then photoshop them in various ways. I
don't understand why.
And the final reason - just to be annoying.
Teenage boy 1: "Hey, I just found some really cute
girl on myspace"
Teengage boy 2: "Let's look at her pics!"
Teenage boy 1: "Oh, damn, they're set to
private!"
Teenage boy 2: "Huh?"
Teenage boy 1: "Yeah, it says The
user you're trying to view has set all their photos to private."
