Yahoo! Shuts Chat Rooms After Sex Allegations

The Yahoo! website portal has discontinued user-created chat rooms after a news report in Houston revealed that some of the chat rooms were being used to lure minors into having sex with adults.

A Houston TV station reported that advertisers such as Pepsi had canceled advertising on Yahoo! after the accusations came to light.

Yahoo! has not yet made a statement on the shutting down of the chat rooms, but Yahoo!-created chat rooms are still up and running on the website.

1. Oh yeah, it's true.
I'm surprised it took this long for someone to do something. You should have seen the names of some of the chat rooms!

6. As an experiment, open up an account with a female name...
or, better yet, a "young"-ish sounding female name--like "BSBFanGirl" or "Brittany13OH". Then post on a couple of Yahoo! groups.

You will absolutely not believe the degree of perversity in the way of e-mails and instant messaging you will receive almost INSTANTLY. It is an absolute freaking avalanche of depravity. It will reduce your faith in the human race to absolute nothing.

I can't believe it's taken this long to shut this garbage down.
