Popular social networking Web site MySpace just got a whole lot safer after the company completed its clean up session, removing more than 90,000 sex offenders from its profile lists. The plan is to make the visits to MySpace safer and more enjoyable for young people, which are known to spend a significant amount of time on the virtual hangout spot.

The issue was taken far beyond than the online action, as Texas’ authorities announced on Wednesday the arrest of a sex offender accused of using MySpace in violation of his parole. There were four other offenders arrested after they used the social networking site to meet and sexually proposition undercover agents who were posing online as 15 year old minors.

"The safety and security of our users is a top priority for MySpace. We have removed and preserved the MySpace profile of this offender," said Hemanshu Nigam, MySpace chief security officer, in a recent statement. "We employ a best of breed solution that we continue to improve on an ongoing basis in an ever changing environment. We hope that the remaining 29 states, including Texas, quickly pass e-mail registration legislation so that offenders can be punished for providing false information online," he added.

Such actions are expected to continue, because even though 90,000 might seem like a big number, there are still many more browsing through MySpace’s pages, looking for victims. Such a plan, if it is not already in the making, should be prepared by all social networks, in order to ensure a better networking experience for everyone.
