KEY POINTS:
NEW YORK - Social network MySpace, a popular online hangout for teens, and 49 US state attorneys general on Monday issued guidelines for protecting youths on the internet with the aim of promoting those principles throughout the industry.
The guidelines call on social networks to have technology in place to review images and video uploaded to their sites and ensuring that profiles of young teens are kept private.
Other measures include educating children and parents about how to keep safe online and exploring better ways of authenticating the identities of social network members.
