MySpace made a big news when they revealing that they’ve identified and removed about 90,000 sex offenders from its sites recently. It wasn’t surprised by the similar action taken by Facebook on the same issue towards children and teenagers protection.

According to Connecticut’s attorney general, Facebook has removed more than 5,585 convicted sex offenders from its social networking site since May. More can be found via the news reported by Associated Press.

Perhaps you won’t find any sex offender on your friend list and this is not a big threat to Facebook, and the risk of having sex offenders in your friend list also nowhere near what many have thought of. However, the problem now the Facebook users facing is they don’t even have technique on how to differentiate a friend whom they just accept the friend request is a new online friend or yet another sex offender. Poor Facebook users!
