Google defended its policy of electronically monitoring its users content for child sexual abuse after it tipped off police in Texas to a child pornography suspect. Houston restaurant worker John Henry Skillern, 41, was arrested Thursday following a cyber-tip that Google had passed along via the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), based outside Washington. He was trying to get around getting caught, he was trying to keep it inside his email, said detective David Nettles of the Houston Metro Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce. I cant see that information, I cant see that photo — but Google can, he told Houston television station KHOU, which first reported the story.
