Accuracy

Having used the product through MessageLabs Image Control, I would say that "90-95% accurate in terms of false positives and negatives" would be 90-95% false positives. All wedding pictures, baby pictures and close-ups of faces reported (amongst others) as porn. Real porn usually ignored!

Maybe thay were tied into a long contract and thought taking the company over would be the best way to get something usable out of them.
