In Indonesian media, the porn-sex-phedopiles issues were also mentioned. 
However, this news doesn't seem to have huge impact in Indonesia. It's 
not a big deal..
Majority of Internet users have not-so-fast internet connection (either 
dial-up or internet cafes/schools), so web-based chats like this 
chat.msn.com was not that popular. Net-users mostly use IRC/mIRC, yahoo 
messenger and msn messenger for chats.

So... chats still continue.....
