Google tech to help fight child pornography
After a long silence from Google on the kids front, the search giant is now regularly raising its hand to help children's advocates on the Internet.
Google said Monday that it has built custom video and image search technology for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The organization will use the technology to help identify and track down child pornographers at a faster rate, according the nonprofit. The group's analysts will use the technology to "sort and identify files that contain images of child pornography victims."
"Criminals are using cutting-edge technology to commit their crimes of child sexual exploitation, and in fighting to solve those crimes and keep children safe, we must do the same," center CEO Ernie Allen said in a statement.
The news comes weeks after Google introduced a new kid-safe site for parents and a YouTube video about Internet safety.
The government is using this "Noble Cause" to do highly dubious things to catch so called Predators. Encroach on the rights of it's citzen and to justify highly sophicatic surveillance programs in the name or protecting children. It is insanely expensive and dangerous to all our personally liberty.
Look, it worth going after predators and deal with them according, but in justifiable manner and with bounds of personal liberty. I think I would rather accept the small risk to children than to throw away personal liberty in the name or protecting very few children.
How about we deal with real problem slike Drunk driving, and Black on Black violence.

In the rest of society, the preteens are having the last laugh as they share nude photos and videos of themselves with cell phones and the internet, sometimes enjoying harmless, hopefully safe, sexual play. Abstinence is not Christian, it is perverted Gnostic thinking. The sexually dysfunctional, anally retentive prudes will just have to continue foaming at the mouth and gnashing their teeth. The ship has already sailed. It is too bad that Google, who claims to not want to do evil, has chosen to jump on the self-righteous ?Christian? fascist bandwagon. Forcing one religious morality on everyone is not wise.
NKJ Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
NKJ John 16:2 ?..yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service.
