世界上最受欢迎的社交网站MySpace同意制定更为严格的指导原则,以保护少年儿童免受网上歹徒的性侵犯。

MySpace和美国49个州的州检察长星期一一起宣布了各项新的安全措施。这些措施中包括设立一条24小时警察热线,改进队不良内容投诉的回应时间。

他们还宣布成立一个在线安全工作组,将探讨新的技术,包括更好地鉴别MySpace用户年龄的方式。

这个由“新闻公司”拥有的网站还将设立一个数据库,可以让家长们防止孩子设立帐户。

得克萨斯州是唯一没有赞同这项协议的州。

MySpace, the world’s most popular social networking site, has agreed to set stricter guidelines in an effort to protect children from online predators.

MySpace, along with the attorneys-general of 49 U.S. states, announced (Monday) various new safety measures. Among them are a 24-hour police hotline, and improving response time to complaints of inappropriate content. 

They also announced the creation of an online safety task force that will explore new technologies, including better ways to verify ages of MySpace users.

The Web site owned by NewsCorp will also create a database allowing parents to prevent their children from opening an account.

Texas is the only state that did not endorse the agreement.
