"We look for behavioral trends that correlate with known patterns of play for adults and children, and based on this human moderators are automatically notified of potential problem cases to investigate in real time. The moderators are trained and empowered to take action immediately as appropriate. "- A Computer Mind To Finger The Real Bullies, Pedophiles, and Killers of Virtual Worlds
Just a reminder that your online communication is never private.
