Wow! If that’s the case why is that chat still running after reporting child pornography content in it! But was told ICQ allows this kind of group chats as long as there is no child pornography. Which I also reported.Īfter managing to find someone that could guide me, I was told to contact an ICQ moderator who can delete groups and accounts. ICQ has not done anything to eliminate the group chat or even the accounts posting the content. I reported the chat due to child pornography. As I was reporting the images, a thumbnail for a video showed there was a child involved. It’s a private group for the sole purpose of sharing and posting pornography. One man, whom I had to block, added me to a private group chat with over 3k people in it. I did today… and surprisingly enough, there were.I read an article that listed ICQ as a great app to reminisce of the chat rooms we used to have back in the early 2000’s.ĭownloaded ICQVideoCallsChatRooms and soon found out some men use it to prey upon women, to either scam them or for sexual purposes. But either way, log into your old ICQ and see if there are people still on it. Oddly enough it’s still available today, although it’s hard to say why you would use it instead of texting. You could gather your friends’ ICQ numbers like you could grab their phone numbers. ICQ was simple and every user was assigned a number - kind of like a ID number. There were only a handful of chatting apps and this was before MSN Messenger took out the competition. By 1997, it was readily available on Windows 95, Windows 3.1 and Mac.Īnd who could forget this memorable sound?Ĭhatting online back in the day was simpler, at least in terms of technology used. That’s right, one of the internet’s most popular chat app is now 20 years old having been initially released on Novemby Israeli students. 20th!! There are university students that are younger than ICQ. Uh-oh! What’s that you feel? Is that the cold breathe of death? It might possibly be because this week marks the 20th anniversary of ICQ.
