Update on the MySpace story...they say no...

As an update to the previous story where it was shared that several Attorney Generals including Ohio's had asked for MySpace to turn over information on known sexual offenders, it is being reported that MySpace said no, they are now stating:

"We are doing everything short of breaking the law to ensure that the information about these predators gets to the proper authorities," said Hemanshu Nigam, chief security officer at MySpace.com, in an e-mail to Computerworld. "A few attorneys general have asked us to turn the names of the sexual predators over to them; we are, unfortunately, prohibited by federal and state laws from doing so."

This of course was not met with a happy response from the AG's who still believe it would be legally possible for MySpace to turn over that information.
