Forums - PC - Microsoft launches Windows Live Messenger for Kids?

Microsoft has just launched Windows Live Messenger for Kids, however there is a bit of a twist. The service is currently only available in German, and is aimed at 8-10 year olds. It is actually a form of web messaging, but requires a download and installs a executable. 

A Microsoft Spokesperson told me in an e-mail that, "Windows Live Messenger for kids is specifically designed to provide a safe entry in the Instant Messaging world." The concept behind this release is that parents are the ones who create the account for their children and are present when they sign in. The parents must then approve who appears in the contact list. There is a emergency call button in which the user can click if they feel threatened or harassed, which will notify the parents of the situation. Conversations are limited to text and emoticons only, with no file transfers or display pictures.

hello pedo bear



    

Sounds like a place to get all the kiddies together in one handy-dandy place for the persistent pedos.

Bad idea.

Who says it isn't a plot to catch German pedos in the first place?
