The site currently has over 67 million users, with 250,000 new members every day
MySpace.com, the popular online social networking site with millions of users from around the world has deleted accounts belonging to 250,000 underage users and borderline content. Because of the popularity of MySpace, the site is now under heavy criticism after some people claim the site doesn't do enough to protect minors. There have already been several incidents of sexual predators using MySpace to exploit minors. Rupert Murdoch's News Corps acquired the site for $580 million last year and has been battling to keep MySpace since the acquisition. According to the Financial Times:
Ross Levinsohn, head of News Corp’s internet division, said some of the material taken down contained "hate speech". Some of it, he said, was "too risqué".
