Facebook not “safe” enough for minors

Facebook falsely advertises the safety of its social network and fails to respond to complaints about obscene content and sexual predators in a timely manner, says the New York Attorney General, Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo’s office has launched an investigation into Facebook, charging that the site is rife with “widespread” pornographic content and that minors are easily and regularly contacted by adults trolling for sex. The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) has sent a letter (PDF) to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg detailing its complaints, along with a subpoena for company documents.
