Facebook Monitors Your Chats for Criminal Activity

http://mashable.com/2012/07/12/facebook-scanning-chats/

Facebook and other social platforms are watching users’ chats for criminal activity and notifying police if any suspicious behavior is detected, according to a report.

The screening process begins with scanning software that monitors chats for words or phrases that signal something might be amiss, such as an exchange of personal information or vulgar language.

Pft, that ought to keep 'em busy. Since when was an exchange of personal info or vulgar language over cyber chat a crime?
