  1. Good-hearted kid, but in the name of doing good, his mind works along authoritarian lines. Point to all the bad things you could prevent, and build the machinery to target and take down the inconvenient voices. We could also catch a lot of bad guys if the phone company eavesdropped on everybody. Who decides who's a danger or what's a danger? We can point to atrocious criminal acts as a reason to implement controls, but we need to take a long view and see how those controls can be abused. We've already seen inconvenient voices silenced, who were RIGHT. It's actually become a pattern. Personally, I think that they should write into their TOS in big letters that a moderator might be eavesdropping on anything and everything. If there's an expectation or guarantee of privacy, then they have no right to break into private channels/rooms/whatever. That said, once a moderator witnesses a crime, it should IMMEDIATELY be a police matter. That should not be handed off to someone else to decide if it's actionable. At that point, there's a citizen bearing witness to a crime, and it must be reported to vested authorities. Just period.
