Social networks scan for sexual predators, with uneven results

http://j.mp/NDv2rp  (Reuters)

   "Like most of its peers, Facebook generally avoids discussing its
    safety practices to discourage scare stories, because it doesn't catch
    many wrongdoers, and to sidestep privacy concerns. Users could be
    unnerved about the extent to which their conversations are reviewed,
    at least by computer programs."
