A determined cunning and manipulative predator roaming this game will find a victim as easily without the PF as they can with it. The PF is not their main avenue to finding and attacting victims its the chat channels. There are teens and full grown adults who play this game that are easily manipulated, easily tricked into trusting someone and handing out personal info. Should the advertisements be removed..Yes. Will it hurt Predators: Yes and No just depends on the predator and the victims. Will it save SE from trouble not really cause once again chat channels still exist, and SE cannot monitor every conversation in this game 24/7. SE will do what it can too keep the game a safe place to play, but like it or not players have to do their part and be responsible for their own actions or lack of action.
