Facebook agrees child safety plan
09/05/2008 by swordfish.
Facebook is to add a slew of new safeguards to protect young users from sexual predators and cyber bullies.
At the heart of the changes are efforts to ban convicted sex offenders from the site and finding better ways to verify users’ ages and identities.
The agreement was announced by Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal in a deal along with other attorneys general around America. “This marks another watershed towards social networking safety,” he said. It will “protect kids from online predators and inappropriate content,” he added.
It comes on the heels of a similar comprehensive agreement that 49 states and Washington, DC, made with MySpace last January.
