New York – Facebook and MySpace have closed the accounts of 3 533 convicted sex offenders in New York state under a law combating online predators, officials said recently.

New York Attorney General urged other social networking sites to follow the lead and apply the Electronic Security and Targeting of Online Predators Act (e-STOP), a law passed last year that requires convicted sex offenders to list all their online addresses with the state.
