In a strange twist the social networking site MySpace deleted the profiles of hundreds of registered sex offenders. My first reaction is to say bravo, good job…you huh? You won’t provide this information to the authorities? Attorneys from several states have asked MySpace to provide the information.
In a statement, MySpace’s chief security officer said state and federal laws prohibit the Web site from sharing such information.
“We are doing everything short of breaking the law to ensure that the information about these predators gets to the proper authorities,” the security officer, Hemanshu Nigam, said in the news release.
The statement did not specify which laws MySpace would break by handing authorities the information, and a call to the company was not immediately returned.
Does anyone have an idea as to what law they could be possibly referring to?
