Microsoft aims to assist detection of sexual predators in multiplayer games
Microsoft has developed a technique to detect online predators in multiplayer video games and report them to law enforcement. The program, called Project Artemis, uses artificial intelligence to scan conversations and flag suspicious ones for human review. The tool will be distributed for free to nonprofit organizations, gaming companies, and messaging service developers. Microsoft worked with Dartmouth College and messaging services like Kik and Roblox to develop the technique. The technology aims to combat unwanted sexual solicitation of children online. The article suggests that other companies like Nintendo and Sony should also adopt similar measures.

PureSight Owl 2011 Review
PureSight Owl 2011 is a parental control software that aims to protect children from cyberbullying and inappropriate online behavior. It offers features such as content filtering, internet scheduling, and instant messaging protection. The software monitors and filters chat traffic for AIM, Yahoo, MSN, and Trillian, and can block use of Skype, IRC, or Jabber/Google Talk. It also has a multi-lingual database of dangerous chat words and phrases and can block or filter inappropriate content on websites. However, the software cannot filter secure (HTTPS) websites and does not have the ability to track and control social networking sites.
