Google tackles child porn

Google engineers have adapted a software program to help track child sex predators. The program uses pattern recognition to enable analysts to sort and identify files containing child sex abuse. It was originally developed to block copyrighted videos on the company’s YouTube division.The program will be used by  National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) to search their systems more quickly and easily as they try to sort and identify files that contain images of child sex abuse victims..
