[DM] Facebook monitors chat conversations and informs the police of anything suspicious

Facebook's extensive but little-discussed technology for scanning postings and chats for criminal activity automatically flagged the conversation for employees, who read it and quickly called police.

Officers took control of the teenager's computer and arrested the man the next day, said Special Agent Supervisor Jeffrey Duncan of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. The alleged predator has pleaded not guilty to multiple charges of soliciting a minor.

So FB monitors all our chat eh...

I thought there was something about not being able to get in trouble with what you say on the internet. I could be wrong, but that's what I recall.

Another interesting article from a while back. http://techland.time.com/2011/05/27/viewpoint-facebook-is-not-your-friend/

Stuff marked as "Friends Only" can be used against you in a court of law, you are not safe with anything you post of FB it seems.

Illegal, maybe. Immoral?
I'm all for catching the reprobates of our society, but when all casual chat is monitored and recorded by a private company I think it maybe too much.
I am a big advocate of freedom of speech/freedom of expression, and I will also endorse freedom of anonymity.
The paedophiles etc. will be caught out by the knowing parents/educated people.
If they are not, our education/rights system has many flaws.

I agree, teach the children about how to use the internet safely. There are features to report/block people, the girl should have been more educated. (I'm by no means saying what the guy did was right)
