NEW YORK (AP) ― Leading Internet scholars at Harvard Law School will head a task force exploring the safety of users at MySpace and other popular online hangouts amid growing fears that youngsters have become targets of sexual predators. Massachusetts Attorney General, Martha Coakley applauded the creation of the task force.
"We are pleased that the Berkman Center at Harvard Law School will host this important Task Force," said Coakley in a press release. "Our office looks forward to working with the Berkman Center and the Task Force to implement online safety tools, such as identity authentication, to keep users safe on the Internet."
The creation of the Internet Safety Technical Task Force is part of an agreement that MySpace, a unit of News Corp., reached with all attorneys general except Texas' in January. Initial participants include leading Internet companies such as Google Inc., Microsoft Corp., Yahoo Inc., Time Warner Inc.'s AOL and MySpace rival Facebook, along with Internet access providers and nonprofit groups. The group will have a broad mandate to explore technical ways to keep children safe -- not only from sexual predators but also from online bullies and adult content. Procedures for verifying users' ages are expected to be among the task force's discussion. Although MySpace was in charge of creating the group, naming its members and choosing Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society to run it, the task force will be independent of MySpace effective Thursday, said John Palfrey, Berkman's executive director.
