First New York – Now New Jersey Goes After Facebook

Last week the New York State Attorney General went after Facebook with subpoenas charging that Facebook is ignoring complaints about sexual predators. Today New Jersey Attorney General Anne Milgram has also subpoenaed Facebook with the same complaint.

Reuters also reports, "A joint 50-state investigation is looking into Facebook, MySpace and other social networks over concerns they may fall short in protecting young users."

Milgram issued the subpoena on Monday to Facebook along with letters to 11 other social networking sites asking them to compare member accounts against a list of sex offenders.  I sure wonder who the other 11 social networks are – MySpace was already taken care of earlier this summer.

Facebook has until October 12 to respond to the subpoena, which asks for all information concerning any user identified as a convicted sex offender.
