The Hindustan Times: An Indian American will look after the online saftey issues at MySpace, the world’s largest social network site for teenagers owned by Rupert Murdoch’s Fox Interactive Media. Hemanshu Nigam, a corporate attorney of repute with Microsoft, has been appointed as the chief security officer at MySpace to look after the interests of the unsuspecting teenage users of the site who have been lured by online predators. MySpace ranks second only to Yahoo in terms of page views. Nigam will be the point man for MySpace’s safety, education, privacy and law enforcement programmes.
There was a series of incidents in which sexual predators used personal information and profiles posted on MySpace to track down and molest teens.
