Google's efforts to combat online harassment with 'machine learning'

Online bullying has become a common practice ... and can take a serious toll on its targets.

Wired's Senior Writer Andy Greenberg describes it as the Internet Justice League and writes about it in the October issues of the magazine. It is online now.

He spoke earlier with Take Two's Alex Cohen.
