workshop is particularly timely given that The popular Internet social network
MySpace announced Tuesday it's
detected and deleted 29,000 convicted sex offenders from its site. Web site
officials said they deleted 29,000 sex offenders from its network, more
than four times the figure it had initially reported. Last year, the Web site
teamed up with a background check company to develop the first national
database of convicted sex offenders to make it easier to track them online. MySpace
attracts about 60 million visitors monthly in the U.S.
