NY: Networking site Tagged.com ignored abuse rules

NY: Networking site Tagged.com ignored abuse rules By SAMANTHA GROSS (AP) 6/11/10 NEW YORK — Child pornography was allowed to remain on social-networking site Tagged.com for nearly two months after undercover investigators posed as users and reported the content to the site's administrators, the state attorney general's office charged Thursday....One slideshow that remained on the site as of Thursday morning depicted children, some who appeared as young as 5, engaged in sexual acts with other children, Cuomo's office said. The slideshow was sent to Tagged.com on April 17 using the site's own reporting procedures. Louis Willacy, a lawyer for Tagged Inc., issued a statement saying the site was cooperating with investigators and hoped "to resolve this quickly in the best interest of our members' safety." http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gtCSFmpu9pCW5MK5IuHX8OvGWLSAD9G8M9100
