Comments: 1 +-   Parents To Block Kids From Joining MySpace on Monday January 14 2008, @12:58PM Reservoir Hill

Submitted by Reservoir Hill on Monday January 14 2008, @12:58PM
Reservoir Hill writes "The New York Times reports that attorneys general of five states are announcing a partnership with MySpace to fight sexual predators on social networks by letting parents submit the e-mail addresses of their children, so the company can prevent anyone from using that address to set up a profile. MySpace will also set up a "closed" section for users under age 18 so only their established online friends can visit their pages. MySpace also promises to hire a contractor to identify and delete pornographic images on the site. "This set of principles is a landmark and milestone because it involves an acknowledgment of the importance of age and identity authentication," said Connecticut attorney General Richard Blumenthal."
