Yep, just saw it on the news. Chat rooms on Yahoo are goners because investigations showed that scumbags were after kids and sharing kiddie porn.

Actually, they are gone because they lost advertisers. Guess a couple big advertisers saw their ads running on Under 13 sex chats.

Yahoo! isn't pulling these because they want to, they are doing it because they are losing advertisers.

I think Adult Groups are safe, although the child ones will get shut down (which is good). Yahoo! still knows that those groups build up user registrations and banner impressions. It'd be throwing away money for them to remove them all.

I read that people were posting child porn so they shut them down.

That is probably not 2257 related.

I'm surprised it took so long for anyone to notice. Those bad rooms were around for years. So now user created rooms are gone, indefinitely. Change is inevitable though... nothing stays the same forever.
