Chatroulette seems to be getting serious about its penis problem. A new message on the site warns that those who flash minors will end up talking to the cops, reports NewTeeVee. “Broadcasting inappropriate content to minors is a violation of both US and UN law," it reads. "We are actively cooperating with law enforcement agencies."

Site founder Andrey Ternovskiy writes that "we’ve captured and saved thousands of IP addresses of alleged offenders, along with logs and screenshots which prove wrong behavior." Not that the site is going puritan. It recently introduced topical channels, notes NewTeeVee, and adult-themed ones are leading the way.
