Joe Sullivan, Facebook's chief security officer, said his company would co-operate with Australian authorities.

"We would welcome consideration of ways in which information about registered sex offenders can be securely shared with social networks- a model, widely deployed by the US States Attorney Generals, which has effectively removed dangerous individuals from access to such services," Sullivan said.
