In one way, i can take it as being flattering that people think that with our technology and with a database, that we have some "killer app" that is unique.
who is to say that the FBI doesn't have their own kind of sniffy? that they have their own team of human viewers who search for CP and whatever else? There is a task group specificially set up in the FBI to tackle the issues of CP (they are in posession of the world's largest collection of CP images).-dj

DJ, I don't know what the FBI may have for capabilities, but I am not talking about their abilities.
I am not talking about CP at the moment.
I am talking about the possible potential for sniffy to be used for obscenity prosecutions. If it can identify and hunt down CP it can certainly identify specific sites based on certain preset criteria.
Yes, I know google indexes sites...but googles stated purpose is not policing webmasters.
What I want to know is if you would ever allow Sniffy to be used by the feds for purposes other than hunting down CP such as images which may be perceived as being obscene?
A simple "no we would never allow the feds to use this for purposes of obscenity prosecutions and it's written into our contract" would answer the question.
AS a webmaster who would personally be VERY interested in a tool like this, these are the things that worry me.
One of my larger worries and something you guys should consider in your marketing approach, that this software would take care of is a credit card company suddenly putting our account on hold because we are somehow associated with a site that's implying underage content.
