Chatroulette: A Predator's Heaven?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 6, 2010 --

The brainchild of a 17 year old Russian student, Chatroulette.com, is fast becoming one of the most visited websites on the internet. Launched in November 2009, the site currently boasts 500,000 visitors per day, with an estimated 35,000 connected at any point in time. Chatroulette is based on a highly innovative concept. Users are randomly paired together in webcam chats and any may leave a current chat at any time and initiate another. Several platforms allow cam chats. Most have attempted to secure the privacy of users through the limitation of chat privileges to registered, email-verified, users and/or by allowing users to control whom they are contacted by. Chatroullete.com does not and, herein, lies both its uniqueness and its danger.

Chatroulette.com is not moderated and does not require users to register as members. To start chatrouletting, just go to the site and you’re on. Innovative and ingenious? Yes. Dangerous? Most Definitely! Think about it for a minute. The regular chatrouletters are most likely to be perverts and children. Few, supposedly mature and psychologically healthy, individuals will chatroulette more than a handful of times. They will only do so only to see what the buzz is all about or to experience the novelty of it all. The notion of chatrouletting with absolute strangers, including sex perverts, is not something they will find appealing.

How many perverts are out there? How many children and adolescents may be classified as chat and social network addicts? Any notion of the extent to which chatrouletting will attract them? Even on relatively `safe’ social networking sites such as Facebook, one is always receiving friend requests from absolute strangers. How about the number of Skype chat requests one gets from strangers? But on these two, we have the option of declining, blocking or adjusting our privacy level so that none but friends may contact us. Chatroulett.com is founded upon the annihilation of all of that. Worst of all, as chatrouletters are site visitors, not registered users, perverts have the anonymity they crave.
