Internet portal Yahoo! has changed its UK Instant Messenger client to block access to adult chatrooms based in the US. Anyone downloading a UK version of the software from Monday will not be able to access these rooms.

It seems like a moot point: the software that can reach all the chatrooms is going to remain available to all. Why bother?
