Chatroulette video chat service has gained a rather notorious fame for sex maniacs who are exposed live shocking interlocutors. Such a reputation can ruin a pretty promising startup.
The “Abuse” button doesn't seem to help much. Therefore,
it was decided to introduce an image recognition system on Chatroulette - it will allow to quickly identify the image of the genitals and automatically block them.
In addition, it is planned to install another system that will track users with unusually short chat sessions (because they are immediately disconnected by any interlocutor who sees this). Such users will be marked as suspicious and, possibly, disabled manually.

According to knowledgeable sources, startup founder Andrei Ternovsky, who now settled in a rented apartment in Palo Alto, doesn’t make contact with potential investors and rejects most offers of help. If something is not done with Chatroulette's reputation, then the service may fall out of a promising niche of online dating.
