MySpace Finally Stepping Up
“Today we form a partnership that will protect children, purge predators, and expunge inappropriate content including pornography,” stated Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumentha.
The popular networking site MySpace has reached an agreement with 49 states. There goal was to try and improve safety online. Texas did not sign the agreement under protests that new security measures were inadequate.
While many believe that online safety is a parent’s responsibility, others are thankful that these new security measures are in place.
Finally the site has agreed to verify user ages. This came about after investigations that MySpace and other sites like Facebook were being misused by online predators.
