Any state attorneys-general NOT planning to advance their career by saving children from the Internet?
Defend the kiddies - get
elected.
This quack set the standard
New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo said on Monday his office has subpoenaed Facebook, accusing the social networking site of not keeping young users safe from sexual predators and not responding to user complaints.
In recent weeks, N.Y. state investigators have went undercover to test Facebook’s safety controls and procedures, posing as underage users. The investigators were solicited by adult sexual predators and could access pornographic images and videos, Cuomo said.
Cuomo’s subpoena came amid a joint 50-state investigation into Facebook, News Corp’s MySpace Web site and other online social networks. Such sites have come under scrutiny over concerns they may fall short in protecting young users.
Connecticut’s AG, Richard Blumenthal told Reuters in July that his office had learned of at least three convicted sex offenders who were on Facebook’s Web site, adding that that number may be the “tip of the iceberg.”
You probably could find more than three perverts wandering the streets within 10 blocks of Blumenthal’s office on Elm Street in Hartford. But - Cuomo and Blumenthal and other political “lawmen” - hope their defense of children, family and the American Way will eventually get them to the White House.
