These records of Internet identifiers shall be subject to the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) to the same extent as the other records in the National Sex Offender Registry.

that offers a mechanism for communication with other users where such users are likely to include a substantial number of minors; and
whose primary purpose is to facilitate online social interactions; and
