News Corp., which owns MySpace.com, has taken down some 200,000 “objectionable” profiles from its site. The objections being to “hate speech” or material that was “too risqué.” (No word on taking down sites that engage in rampant bandwidth theft, which would decimate the entire MySpace domain.)
MySpace claims to have 66 million users, and says it adds 250K new users every day. If they all possess the creativity and taste and talent and veracity of the folks whose sites I looked at this week, God help the world.
