MySpace has decided to donate their database of sex offenders to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. As you might expect, the authorities will be receiving a huge amount of information. According to MySpace, the database features around 600,000 offenders from state registries of almost all 50 states. MySpace's previous action was to make the Sentinel Safe technology part of its defense system, back in December. The technology, which revolved around the same database and included identifying information that could be matched to profiles on the site, enabled the site to identify and ban sex offenders from getting an account.Enabling sexual predators to get in contact with their victims, this was the main reason MySpace has been so highly criticized for some time. Needless to say, the social networking site had to take some steps to calm down such critics and restore its good image
