UNDATED (AP) -- Illinois is one of several states adding more safeguards to protect young Facebook users from sexual predators and cyberbullies.
Facebook is the world's second-largest social networking Web site.
Forty new safeguards include banning convicted sex offenders from the site, limiting older users' ability to search online for subscribers under 18 and joining an existing task force seeking ways to better verify users' ages and identities.
Officials from Washington, D.C., and 49 states have signed on.
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan says she's concerned about the risks young people run when using Facebook. She says children can often be too trusting with information made available on social networking pages.
