The Giddy Social Whirl - Chatroulette's Todger Filter

Kate Williams ponders the world of social media, and and worries about Chatroulette's core offer

I hear that Chatroulette’s stats are heading south, and that pint-sized CEO Andrey Ternovskiy is worried that an excess of what we’ll gingerly call male nudity is putting users off. In an attempt to halt the decline in visitor numbers, he plans to develop a filter which will eliminate images of the body part in question.

But I’m not so sure. As you know by now, in general I err towards the chaste, but I can’t help but thinking that Andrey might be meddling with his key ingredient. Rather like a vegetarian sausage roll, a SFW Chatroulette might lose its raison d'etre...


That's All Folks!
