Yahoo Closes Chat Rooms Over Sex Content
AP reports that Yahoo! has reacted to angry protests from several of its top sponsors and has pulled the plug on perhaps hundreds of chat rooms operating on its site after a media report revealed that some of the rooms were used to promote sex with minors.
Companies such as PepsiCo Inc., State Farm Insurance and Georgia-Pacific Corp. stopped advertising on Yahoo after they were informed that adults were attempting to lure children into sexual encounters within some of Yahoo’s user-created chat rooms, according to a report by KPRC-TV in Houston.
