    RALEIGH, N.C. - MySpace.com has found and deleted more than 29,000 registered sex offenders with profiles on the popular social networking Web site — more than four times the number cited by the company two months ago, officials in two states Tuesday.

    North Carolina’s Roy Cooper is one of several attorneys general who recently demanded the News Corp.-owned Web site provide data on how many registered sex offenders were using the popular social networking site, along with information about where they live.

    After initially withholding the information, citing federal privacy laws, MySpace began sharing the information in May after the states filed formal legal requests.

    xD

    But seriously, although this is quite an advance in privacy and physical security, there will always be people who you really can't be sure of, anywhere you go...Especially on the internet. It's easy to be anything from a 10 year old girl, to a 49 year old man.

    Let's hope MySpace get rid of more of them.

    Once you look past all the server downtime, online predators, phishing, and slow load times because they allow amature html anywhere in the profile, its.....



    ....well its myspace
