Chicago - Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan is joining her counterparts around the country in announcing Facebook has agreed to make its website safer for underage users. Facebook will be doing several things, including providing automatic safety messages when a child is in danger of giving personal information to an unknown adult and restricting the ability of users to change their listed ages. The deal is similar to one reached with MySpace in January.
