The Social Networking Weblog

REUTERS – July 31 – Facebook is in the news again having come under fire from Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal for failure to protect young users from sexual predators online.

Facebook's Chief Privacy Officer, Chris Kelly, stated that – once alerted of the situation by Blumenthal's office – the web pages were quickly removed.

"The question is: Does the site make it easier or harder to commit crimes and what does it do to address them?" FULL ARTICLE @ PC PRO
