Xanga Resources for Law Enforcement
Xanga is happy to cooperate with police investigations, and we do so routinely.
To ensure that we don't violate users' privacy without due process, we do ask that police investigators send us a subpoena before we pass along any user information.
If you are police officer investigating a crime, please contact us here

My name is Parry Aftab. I head WiredSafety.org.
WiredSafety.org is the world’s largest Internet safety and help group, run entirely by unpaid volunteers from 76 countries around the world. We are a charity and promote safer and smarter use of interactive technologies and provide education, expertise and help to people of all ages online. We are an Internet safety watchdog group and are working with many large sites to help them create a safer environment and a better educated user group.
Xanga has agreed to post our safety tips and implement certain safer practices to help make sure that their users know what they need to know to protect themselves in cyberspace and enjoy the site safely. Part of this involves creating a special contact within Xanga to deal with serious matters and a program to make it easier for law enforcement to prevent and investigate cybercrimes and abuses:
- If you are a member of law enforcement, and need Xanga’s help, please contact Xanga here. Note that this is for law enforcement agencies and officers only. All other e-mails will be ignored if sent to this address.
- Schools and parents who have questions or need help should contact Xanga here. And if you need our help at WiredSafety.org with a cyberstalking, harassment or cyberbullying problem on Xanga, and you are unable to get help from them, reach out to WiredSafety.org’s cyberabuse reportline.
- If you suspect that you have encountered a sexual predator, immediately contact your local police department. You can also report Internet sexual predators at NCMEC’s cybertipline.
