Freeserve have taken a different view to MSN (See this Link)

People are falling into a trap here. Child protection, which no decent person can disagree with, is being cynicaly used as an excuse to close up an avenue of free speech.

Governments would like these venues to be shut, and the excuse of "protecting the children" is such a powerfuly emotive one that few will voice decent.

For the record I have never visited an MSN chatroom to my knowledge, however if chatrooms are shut down, then this sets a dangerous precedent for democracy and the free society.
