I think I might have mentioned this when Det posted that first article.But European Yahoo! rooms are monitored and people have to choose a
"special" name to chat ithat is NOT their user ID. I knoe a lot of people who stopped chatting in the rooms as much because it was too much of a pain. Others just simply used JAVA and got around it. This discovery is GOOD and SAD at the same time. It's good that Yahoo! is finally doing something about it. It's sad that it took a "discovery" for it to come to light. Kids need to be protected as much as possible. Not completely blind to it...but not have it at their finger tips.
I find it hard to believe that certain companies just "didn't" know...some of their employees had to have seen these rooms and noticed that their companies are being advertised and figured "hmmm...I bet these are on the ICKY rooms too." I don't know...people need to get their heads out of their behinds and be more alert about what's going on. Yet I'm rambling at the moment...soI'll end it here.
