Facebook Monitors Chats, Reports to Police
If you use Facebook, you should know that the company is now monitoring all live chats looking for illegal activity, inappropriate ages in chats, vulgarity, etc.
And what's worse is they will report suspicious activity to police.
This article is certainly worth the read if you STILL use Facebook!
Quote:
The software pays more attention to chats between users who don’t already have a well-established connection on the site and whose profile data indicate something may be wrong, such as a wide age gap. The scanning program is also “smart” — it’s taught to keep an eye out for certain phrases found in the previously obtained chat records from criminals including sexual predators.
If the scanning software flags a suspicious chat exchange, it notifies Facebook security employees, who can then determine if police should be notified.

Do you REALLY not understand how something like this is dangerous for all of us or do you just hate pedophiles so much you would sacrifice, in your words, anything for just the possibility of catching one of these "disgusting" people?
I've said it a bunch of times before, the more influence government and authorities have over the Internet, the worse it is for humanity at large. The scary part is how many people seem happy to relinquish their human and civil rights just to feel a little safer, often from imagined threats. |
 Do you really not understand no one is forcing you - or has ever forced you to have a Facebook account??? |

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013. One of the sections will state that every American citizen must have a Facebook account or else face the penalty of law. It is like a new mandatory ID.
...
Oh God, I hope I don't give the government any ideas!  |
