The improvements include a new disclosure for parents and an easier process for reporting unwanted advances. Facebook will also appoint (and pay) an independent examiner to keep tabs on the site's progress. Andrew Cuomo, who launched the Facebook investigation, said he is pleased with the new steps. "I think it's fair to say that Facebook will have the safest interaction of its kind in the marketplace," Cuomo says. The New York AG says his office is now working with other sites to improve safety, but declined to name the specific sites. Read These Next Her blood isn't compatible with anyone else's.
