Facebook Takes Positive Steps Toward Internet Safety

I was so excited to read from the Associated Press, that Facebook created a global safety advisory board to promote internet safety against online predators.

According to the article, "The board will comprise representatives from five Internet safety groups: Common Sense Media, ConnectSafely, WiredSafety, Childnet International and The Family Online Safety Institute."

The Article continued by stating, that "In early 2008, Facebook signed an agreement with attorneys general in 49 states to help protect children against online predators." And, that "Last week, New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo said more than 3,500 offenders registered in New York have been kicked off Facebook and MySpace in recent months."

Way to go Facebook!! For more information about the organizations on the board, and to learn more about internet safety, I created the hyperlinks for you to follow above. Happy surfing!
