MySpace.com maintains that it is committed to deleting sex offenders and has been working hard with a technology company to identify them.
The social networking site issued a statement late Wednesday in response to Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal's announcement that the site contained more than 29,000 sex offender profiles. He said that figure "screams for action," while North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper issued a seven-page statement about the dangers of the site and others like it.
"We partnered with Sentinel Tech to build technology to remove registered sex offenders from our site," Hemanshu Nigam, chief security officer for MySpace, said in a prepared statement. "Through this innovative technology, we're pleased that we've successfully identified and deleted these registered sex offenders and hope that other social networking sites follow our lead."
