Fox Interactive Media, the News Corp. subsidiary that owns social sites MySpace and Photobucket, has signed on as the latest member of the Family Online Safety Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to “identifying and promoting best practice, tools and methods in the field of online safety, that also respect free expression.”

As the first social network to become a nationwide teen craze, MySpace became a frequent target for safety advocates–including state lawmakers, who ended up working with the social network to create a safety plan for kids and teens online.

Other prominent members of FOSI include AOL, AT&T, Cisco, Comcast, Google, Loopt, Microsoft, Ning, Verizon, and a number of international telecommunications carriers.

“FOSI has been a dedicated leader in promoting online safety and we look forward to contributing to the work they do,” Fox Interactive Media Chief Security Officer Hemanshu Nigam said in a statement Friday. “Internet safety is a key priority for us as we strive to keep all teens safer online. This new membership will further strengthen our efforts and will also allow us to share our expertise with other members.”

FOSI holds an annual conference about online safety: this year’s will be on December 11 in Washington, D.C.
