Facebook has reached an agreement with 49 state Attorneys General, pledging to implement new safety measures and improve existing ones.  Facebook also commits to continue to serve on the Internet Safety Task Force, initiated following a similar agreement by MySpace (see blog posted on February 4).

This Facebook deal is another example of industry working with policymakers to craft the best measures for online safety - to protect kids, parents, and older adults.  I think this agreement is another positive step toward creating a safer Internet.  It's important that social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook recognize the value they offer their customers, as well as the possible risks that can occur.

Education, awareness, and online safety tools are the best methods for protecting our families online.
