MySpace: A Place for “Friends”
Well this casts MySpace’s user-engagement metrics in a whole new light …
The social network today said it has identified and ousted 90,000 sex offenders - 40,000 more than it first reported last year when it was subpoenaed by the Connecticut Attorney General’s office as part of an effort to protect minors on social-networking sites. "This shocking revelation - resulting from our subpoena - provides compelling proof that social networking sites remain rife with sexual predators," Connecticut AG Richard Blumenthal said in a statement. "Nearly 100,000 convicted sex offenders with MySpace profiles powerfully refutes the recent task force report - based on outdated and incomplete data - falsely downplaying the threat of predators on social networking sites."
