Social networking website MySpace says it will release tools to identify and ban US sex offenders from its service.
The company said the new service will be the first national database that brings together about 46 US state sex offender registers. MySpace is a personal website tool for people who use it to post blogs, music, and videos.
More than 80 million people have registered a MySpace page. News Corp bought the site for $580m last year. The new technology, called Sentinel Safe, will let MySpace search US state and federal databases to seek out and delete MySpace profiles of registered sex offenders. It will be available in the next 30 days.
