Washington - News Corp.'s MySpace online social network announced on Monday that it will donate technology that allows websites to block convicted sex offenders to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, for use by law enforcement in investigations.

MySpace and Sentinel Tech partnered last month to develop Sentinel Safe, which receives the most current updates and identifiers of registered sex offenders from localized state sex offender registries.

"We believe it's an extremely useful law enforcement tool and want to see it used as broadly as possible," said Fox Interactive Media chief security officer Hemanshu Nigam. "It's critical that we work together as we continue to innovate and develop creative solutions to reduce online safety risks."
