Facebook Warned About Possible Fraud Charge
30th Sep 2007

Social Networking website Facebook could face a consumer fraud charge for failing to live up to claims that youngsters there are safer from sexual predators than at most sites, a spokesman for New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo said Sunday.

"We expect an immediate correction eliminating the dangers exposed by our investigation,'' said the spokesman, Jeffrey Lerner.

Lerner said Facebook's contention of being safer than most sites was accurate when it started out as a closed site 3½ years ago. But it's now much larger, and the safeguards and apparently the response times for complaints aren't what they once were, he said.
