Honestly, this article is a disgusting sales pitch for AI snake oil, using child abuse as a marketing ploy. Everything triggers my bullshit detectors. Even the comments below the article read all the same, like this is some amateur PR stunt. A ML system that can dectect nuances in social interaction? Sure, that'll work... not! Just pay some private company money to monitor everything a child or teenager communicates, that potentially saves sensitive information and that might be breached one day? Whatcouldpossiblygowrong? Listen, I know online grooming is a problem that might be as prevalent as abuse in the immediate family, and I'd like to prevent this as much as anyone. But some cyber-bullshit company writing tear jerking marketing articles and its own comments below on the back of abuse victims isn't going to help.
