Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood and Alabama Attorney General Troy King and 47 other attorneys general have agreed to changes with Facebook.

Facebook is the world's second-largest social networking Web site. It's adding more than 40 new safeguards to protect young users from sexual predators and cyberbullies.

The changes 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.

Hood's office said there are steps in place to view Facebook's privacy policy.
