Stone and NY Times - this is one of the single most absurd articles I have ever read in a “reputable” publication. Scandal! Scandal! Scandal! Has the Times counted the number of sex crime arrests among Time Warner users this year?Ĭome on, Mr. AOL’s parent company, Time Warner has broadcast some pretty sexy stuff over its cable subsidiary. Fruchter did not want to answer those questions.ĪOL provides video chat through the AOL Internet Messenger service (AIM).
Fruchter via e-mail what the standard was for monitoring live feeds on Stickam, what actions the company takes to preventĬrimes or stop them once they are in progress and how many staff members they have devoted to policing content.Īfter a back-and-forth exchange with Lewis PR, representatives of Stickam reported that Mr. Fruchter was formerly director of information security at Hypermedia Systems,Īnother in the same family of firms owned by the Japanese pornography company).
