I’ve just read this article which says Yahoo! has reacted to protests from several of its top sponsors and has pulled the plug on hundreds of chat rooms after a media report revealed some of the chat rooms were used to promote sex with miniors. Some companies has stopped advertising on Yahoo! when they were informed that adults were attempting to lure children into sexual encounters within some user-created chat rooms of Yahoo! Chat Service, according to a report by KPRC-TV in Houston. KPRC has reported in some cases male users of Yahoo! Chat were using web cam to send lewd pictures to miniors in chatrooms with titles such as Younger Girls 4 Older Guys” and “Girls 13 And Under for Older Guys.” It’s finally about time Yahoo! did something, and I’ve read Yahoo has until next month to respond to the federal lawsuit filed by a victim of child pornography. The lawsuit accuses Yahoo of profiting from the exploitation of children in the chat rooms.
