Myspace.com Cracks Down and Promotes Safety

Trying to shed the negative image that has been building against Myspace.com, the company has begun to crack down. First, they claim to have shut down as many as 200,000 profiles that were deemed to be too provocative or belonged to minors under age 14. Now, Myspace.com, along with other News Corporation web sites, Fox Networks Group broadcast networks, Fox All Access radio and the New York Post, plans to launch an ad campaign designed to educate users about the dangers of online sexual predators and concerns about sharing too much information on the Internet. Myspace.com currently has over 60 million profiles, of which they estimate more than 22% belong to minors. For more details you can read MySpace.com to Post Ads Promoting Safety.
