| Ohio's AG joins colleagues from other states in demanding sex offender names from MySpace. |

Ohio's attorney general is asking the social networking website MySpace to hand over the names and locations of registered sex offenders using the site. AG Marc Dann has joined with six other attorneys general in demanding the website turn over information they think it has on sex offenders who've signed up, and what the company is doing to keep them from preying on kids. Dann says there are possibly thousands of offenders, many from Ohio, who are lurking on the site.
Dann says MySpace needs to keep track of those using its site, including people who are giving false information about their identities.
And Dann says the company needs to own up to its responsibility.
There have been reports of more than a hundred incidents of sex offenders using MySpace to set up meetings with underage kids. MySpace's policy prevents children under 14 from setting up profiles, but it relies on users to specify their ages. |
