| Custom What?  |  MSN dumping chat rooms for the good. MSN is dumping the chat rooms in certain countries, to help eliminate spaming and help protect our children. The company says it is making the move because online chat services are "increasingly being misused" by spammers and paedophiles. It is closing chatrooms throughout EMEA, much of Latin America and Asia. MSN is retaining unsupervised chatroom services in the US, Canada and Japan, but for subscribers only. In these countries, MSN sells Internet access, so it has names and account details, enabling it to patrol the chatrooms more effectively. Good news here. | |
