Last week, we wrote an article on a new threat for the long-term success of MySpace and other social networking channels. That threat was sexual predators.
A few days ago, we received the following article from MediaPost.com.
"SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE MYSPACE MIGHT soon get a "safety czar," according to The Wall Street Journal . News Corp., which purchased the popular site last year, is also considering other measures--like blocking search terms that sexual predators might use to find youngsters--according to the Journal . The moves come as the site has been plagued by reports that sexual predators troll the site looking for underage victims."
Just wanted to keep you all posted on this as MySpace is quickly emerging as a major player in reaching younger audiences.
Thank you MediaPost for this lead.
