MySpace.com, the fast-growing community website hugely popular with American teens, has removed 200,000 "objectionable" profiles from its site as it steps up efforts to calm fears about the safety of the network for young users. 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". "It's a problem that's endemic to the internet - not just MySpace," Mr Levinsohn said. "The site, in the last two months, I think has become safer."
