Chatroulette.com cracking down on perverts
 

SAN FRANCISCO?Chatroulette.com is cracking down on unsavory behavior by capturing pictures and Internet addresses of people being naughty at the service that randomly links strangers using live webcams.

"Chatroulette was great in the first honeymoon days after it was launched, before it was discovered by strange people who started to abuse the true freedom and democratic nature of the service," founder Andrey Ternovskiy said in a blog post.

The Russian teenager explained that Chatroulette has begun capturing computer "IP" numbers that serve as online addresses along video screenshots that "prove wrong behavior."

Chatroulette has been denounced by some critics as a hotbed of exhibitionism and voyeurism.

A message at the Chatroulette home page on Tuesday warned "Broadcasting inappropriate content to minors is a violation of both US and UN law" and noted that the website is cooperating with police.

"Luckily we all live in a real world, and we can easily apply the laws of a real world even on an Internet application," said Ternovskiy, who launched Chatroulette in November.

"I hope that with help of criminal law we can finally get the problem out of our shoulders and get existing organizations which usually solve these kinds of problems to help us."

Lascivious antics by users have marred Chatroulette's image and presented challenges to winning investors and operating legally in the United States, according to Ternovskiy.

"We've blocked thousands of IP addresses, reported offenders and service seems to be much cleaner than before," the website's creator said.

Welp, guess I won't be shoving objects up my ass on that site anymore.

yea, looks like a few bad apples have spoiled the fun for the rest of us :Oh crap

I don't use chatroullete. But if I did, I'd wonder if the TOS allowed tons of cam girls randomly chatting and holding up "Check out my show at XXXXXXXXXX.com" signs :D :) :)

Well if your not doing that, I have no reason to go on there now! :mad:

lots of cock on chatroulette

talk about biting the hand that feeds lol

Chatroulette has around a 30 to 1 man to woman ratio. It's a fucking sausage fest.

What a MASSIVE opportunity for camgirls/camstudios to pimp their shit!!! :pimp:thumbsup Fansigns FTW?

there's not going to be anyone left

free loaders

I wonder what exactly they are cracking down on. I know some people who run image loops of topless girls advertising cam sites. They just sit there with their boobs hanging out and the movie loops every 10 seconds or so. Would this be against the law, or are they going after the serial masturbators?

If you're letting your children surf chatroulette unsupervised you should be shot. If you let your children surf the net unsupervised you should be shot.

Rofl. They need to either block the IPs of minors, or record the IPs of minors and send them to the proper authorities so their absent parents can be shot.

On the other hand, too little, too late.

Hi I'm Jane. Do you like me?

please visit me at jane18.com.

lol, I hate that one. I wonder how many computers they have running that to make it come up so often.

Gotta love it! :thumbsup

More like free traffic takers :winkwink::thumbsup:1orglaugh

One eyed snakes not wanted? LMAO

Just went onto check out that site. Without nude it's FUCKED!

I'd bet anything, whoever that person is, he's a GFY regular.

lol ... "i made this completely free and opened service for flowers and cute kids, now perverts and rude people there. how rude the world can be, so instead of making it available only by free registration, to have better control over it, i decided to log all activities and make the site totally unsecure for everyone who will visit it" ... fuck off little kid, grow up

that's one way of looking at it, but I don't think the ROI would be enough

oh yeah! so true.

Who on earth is going to that website for chat if their is no nudity?

Shit, that site is still online? hahaha

If the owner was even half way smart, he'd use this opportunity to finally post affiliate links to adult cams. He could direct all those people who are looking for nude chat to adult cams. However, so far there hasn't been any indication this guy knows how to monetize the site. He's basically just had at various times a link to dating and even labels the link "ad" as if to discourage clicks.

I think hat guy should separate dicks from common chat and make a special service for them

Hitting you up right now...

Unless its the owner running those jane18.com ads...

Damn, bad news fo sho. I'm fisting my dickhole on there as we speak.

They have got a lot of publicity from newspapers/radio etc doing as bit about how its pervroulette and how shocked some dopey parent was to find what their innocent daughter was doing online.

Taking away the only reason people are on the site.

If facebook is getting sued for privacy breaches, just imagine the lawsuits this kid will be hit with for recording people's chats and taking their pictures without telling them he was doing so.
