Here's the truth...it's NOT GROUPS...it's REALTIME CHAT ROOMS. Here's a portion of the article in MSN and CNN....SAN FRANCISCO, California (Reuters) -- Yahoo Inc. has shut down all its user-created Internet chat rooms amid concerns that adults were using the sites to try to have sex with minors.The giant Internet media company closed down those chat rooms and the ability to create new ones "in the past week," said Yahoo spokeswoman Osako.Chat rooms created and sponsored by Yahoo itself remain open, Osako said. The number of user-created chat rooms is variable at any given time and Yahoo does not track that figure, she said.The user-created chat rooms in question, where Internet users converse in real time, had names including "Girls 13 And Under For Older Guys" and "Girls 13 And Up For Much Older Men" and were all listed under "education chat rooms," Houston television station KPRC reported."We are working on improvements to the service to enhance users' experience and their compliance with our terms of service," Osako said. "Yahoo condemns the use of Internet tools for illegal activities."
