Firstly the boards that we're talking about are places like Boychat and Girlchat - These aren't places for homosexuals, these are places for paedophiles.

The purpose of these boards is to promote Adult/ Child sexual relations. I'd hope the author of this article is well aware of the fact that children certainly aren't capable of consenting to sex with adults. So this in my eyes will always be classed as rape, as adults are easily able to manipulate children into doing just about anything.

Paedophiles on these boards group, to share videos of unsuspecting Youtube users children for their sexual pleasure. Many users also hint at having child pornography:

"My younger cousins have came across stuff they shouldn't have on my PC (one of them I know for sure has seen the stuff - the other one I am quite sure he knows about it). Thus - I am scared that they will know I am a BL (Boy Lover) and will more than likely tell their parents about their discovery."

As for Epifora.com it hosted roughly 50 openly pro- paedophile websites, I think I can recall seeing only one site which wasn't pro-paedophile in content. This flew in the face of Verizons Terms of Service and being a commercial business they didn't HAVE to provide complete freedom speech with their service. So they considered a network of websites promoting child rape inappropriate content and decided to terminate Epifora.com's service.
