Yahoo Bans Inappropriate Chat Rooms
Yahoo Bans Chat Rooms That Promote Sex With Minors
Oct. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Yahoo! Inc. will bar minors from Internet chat rooms and eliminate 70,000 forums under an agreement with officials in New York and Nebraska that aims to protect children and teenagers from sexual predators.
Yahoo, the most-visited Web site, shut down chat rooms with names such as ``girls 13 & up for older men,'' ``8-12 yo girls for older men'' and ``teen girls for older fat men,'' New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer said in a statement. ``This was absolutely horrific stuff,'' Spitzer said.
Yahoo needed to come to an agreement with officials in NY to shut them down? I can't even believe that these were allowed to exist at Yahoo!
Well, I'm at least glad to hear that they're getting shut down and I hope Yahoo does a better job of monitoring this stuff in the future and preventing it. It's truly disgusting stuff.
Mom's and Dad's really need to know what their kids are doing online, and keep a good relationship with them, with plenty of communication.
