Facebook Gets Subpoenaed

According to Reuters, the New Jersey State Attorney General has subpoenaed Facebook to investigate whether or not sexual offenders in the state currently have profiles on the site. This comes on the heels of statements by the New York state Attorney General “claiming that an undercover investigation revealed that investigators posing as young users of the site (12 to 14 years old) were ‘repeatedly solicited by adult sexual predators.'” (Source: News.com) Apparently this subpoena “is similar to one issued earlier this year to MySpace.”
