Sept. 30, 2004 This is an article my friend John wrote and sent to me. I will write the article down word for word but anything that is written by Yahoo! Terms of Service document will be written in normal letters. Anything written by John will be capitalized. Here it is. Yahoo! Misused as a Child Porn Resource, Yahoo doesn't care. Directly from the TOS (Terms of Service) document from yahoo.com. MAYBE THEY DON'T THINK ANYONE CARES ENOUGH TO READ IT OR BETTER YET, DON'T CARE. Yahoo! assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings. I FIGURED. Yahoo! is concerned about the safety and privacy of all its users, particularly children. THEN WHY DO THEY HAVE THE FOLLOWING CHAT ROOMS: NUMBERS AT THE END REPRESENT HOW MANY USERS WERE IN THE CHAT WHEN I DISCOVERED IT. "PRE-TEEN FORCED AND MOLESTED3" 40 "YOUNG TEEN GIRLS 4 OLDER MEN" 40 "--DADDYDOM'S/BABYGIRL'S--DR" 39 "!LITTLE GIRL PICS" 40 "!LITTLE GIRL PHOTOS" 39 "!YOUNG GIRL PHOTOS" 40 "PRETEEN VIDZ 'N' KIDS" 40 "!PRE-TEEN POST 'N' TRADE!" 40 "LITTLE_GIRLS" 35 "PRETEEN BABY & TODDLER SEX" 37 "DAUGHTERS ON CAM" 5 OKAY LET'S SEE THIS ADDS UP TO 433 PEOPLE. TO BE SPECIFIC, THIS TEST STARTED SEPTEMBER 26, 9:39PM EDT AND ENDED ON SEPTEMBER 26, 9:52PM EDT. THE DATA WAS COLLECTED GRADUALLY AS I DISCOVERED IT. This means that you, and not Yahoo!, are entirely responsible for all Content that you upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available via the Service. SO WHAT'S THE DEAL YAHOO? HOW COME IT'S ILLEGAL FOR ME TO DOWNLOAD A SONG OFF THE INTERNET, BUT I CAN USE YOUR SERVICE TO ACCESS ROOMS LIKE THIS? Please remember that the Service is designed to appeal to a broad audience. Accordingly, as the legal guardian, it is your responsibility to determine whether any of the Services and/or Content (as defined in Section 6 below) are appropriate for your child. HOW "BROAD" OF AN AUDIENCE ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? DO YOU YAHOO? So that's the article he sent to me. If you have any questions or comments about it, you can email John at firefox17x@yahoo.com. I hope this article was as informative to you as it was to me. L.J. ------------ About the author L.J. Chapman: I am 24 years old and I live in Massachusetts with my two children.
