I recieved this little tidbit in my inbox today, and figured this one was definately worth sharing with the entire world...

KEEP SEX OFFENDERS OFF OF FACEBOOK Bulletin

Posted by Sharyn Elander

I'm thankful for the Attorney General's work in New York ~ and also that Facebook and Myspace are taking off sexual offenders. Here is an article dated today 12.1.09 regarding the disabling of thousands of sex offenders on both Facebook and Myspace in New York:

*** Reminder ***
Do not post requests for people to visit your FB page from this cause page ~ this is for your protection as well as the protection of others on this cause page.
**************

I wanted to introduce you to a “resource page” for this cause ~ it is called Red Daisies and can be found here:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Red-Daisies/179743294941

(You may need to copy and paste the above information)

Please join as a fan to take part in discussions there - as on this cause page comments disappear after a few minutes/hours - and I think that this should be a productive discussion. I have asked for a view all in the "activity" section - and the cause page has not done it (since they removed it with a recent update).

Please join as a fan to make a back-up page to this cause page ~ those who work with databases and controversial issues will understand the need for that. Also, I am not able to have more than 5,000 people on my individual Facebook page - so this still gives me more of an opportunity to know you individually.

Please post media links in their respective discussion groups on Red Daisies,
for many reasons:
1.) As then we are able to see the actual link from what online media site it is - to make sure that it is reputable.
2.) If comments are made on this Facebook cause which are violent or improper - I sometimes can delete them - sometimes I can't - so I will delete an entire media item - if necessary, to delete someone's comments.
3.) I am able to better monitor the Red Daisy site...and I still have the discretion to take off some Media if it is not cause related...or sometimes for other reasons.

I still have my facebook site open for you to see and to message me at:

Please be aware that I get a lot of emails almost everyday, so it may take awhile for me to correspond with you - however, each of your emails are important to me.
