Police to monitor chat rooms to thwart paedophiles
"Police are to monitor conversations on internet chat rooms in a bid to prevent paedophiles from grooming victims on the web. Officers in the UK, US and Australia will monitor the sites 24 hours a day, the BBC reported. The National Crime Squad in the UK is to play a key role in the setting up the surveillance operation, along with the FBI in America.
One of the proposals for deterring paedophiles is to flash up a symbol on computer screens to let chat rooms users know they are being watched. Police could then intervene if someone is asked for their name and address online."

begs the question: which chat rooms? ALL chat rooms? PRIVATE chat? IM? sounds like paedophilia is just a pc excuse for random surveillance. besides--what idiot would give out their name and address if they knew they were being monitored? (guess i'd b surprised:-)
