Spyware, Adware
This program has a lot of spyware and adware. Shouldn't this be part of the article? 72.93.193.146 12:17, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure it could, but since it is an inflammatory charge, this really should be backed up with a Reliable Source. -Verdatum (talk) 14:16, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

definition of 'insult' chatroom.
an 'insult' chatroom is mentioned in the article. does anyone have a definition for what an 'insult' chatroom/channel is? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Markcox (talk • contribs) 01:08, 3 April 2007 (UTC).
 * It is a live-cam room where people insult each other.--Hndsmepete 23:36, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

The stated purpose of the chat room is to insult people in the room.

Criticism
Whata about adding criticisms? There are criticisms about their current services and customer service. Mr. C.C. (talk) 20:22, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Paltalk was told about the hanging of that man 20 mins before they decided to do any thing every one was telling them but they just laughed. It go's to show hw paltalk with lots of money can pay wikipedia to keep damaging facts off the page. Is this all the companys think about ? why dont they just sell their souls to the devil also ? . And medianoce (co-admin) has 6 bedrooms 4 bathrooms how eles would he get that house, by being an Mexican police officer ? or being an mexican police officer and taking bribes ? these are the people paltalk hires. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.170.20.12 (talk) 19:51, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Recent Legal issues
Should the fact that Paltalk is suing some of the biggest names in the computer entertainment industry be included here? http://www.rfcexpress.com/lawsuit.asp?id=50310 http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=conewsstory&tkr=SNE%3AUS&sid=aAhAaaSzKQIA 173.61.86.36 (talk) 23:51, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Yes, there is a lot of controversy around these lawsuits. Their patent apparently covers *every* multi-player video-game! I would like to see some documentation of this here. --210.5.38.1 (talk) 04:39, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
 * their patent is not viable at all (well at least according to my country patent laws), Maze War (1974) already did that years before Paltalk even existed (1999). But it seems judges in Texas don't know that, that's why Microsoft paid the price... => :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze_War --193.51.175.7 (talk) 12:16, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
 * edit : read few more things about it, it seems paltalk (aka hearme) was a part of MPath Interactive dedicated to voice chat (see : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPlayer.com), so the only reason for attacking Sony/ActiBlizzard would be about VoIP tech, not "experiencing the same digital environments simultaneously", once again, we have a patent troll editing its wikipedia page :/ also => http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2009/09/multiple-mmo-developerspublishers-named-in-patent-suit.ars --193.51.175.7 (talk) 12:29, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

An ad?
Is it just me, or do bits of this article seem to read like an ad? Matt Yohe (talk) 22:32, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

No, it is an AD with improper fact even so. They do pretend also to be the first worldwide when others software like Skype who use as chatroom-communication device have 10 times the same amount of customers. Beragon77 (talk) 03:59, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Paltalk is controlled and completely taped by the NSA
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/06/us-tech-giants-nsa-data Cite: ''Some of the world's largest internet brands are claimed to be part of the information-sharing program since its introduction in 2007. Microsoft – which is currently running an advertising campaign with the slogan "Your privacy is our priority" – was the first, with collection beginning in December 2007.

It was followed by Yahoo in 2008; Google, Facebook and PalTalk in 2009; YouTube in 2010; Skype and AOL in 2011; and finally Apple, which joined the program in 2012. The program is continuing to expand, with other providers due to come online.'' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.44.1.216 (talk) 14:55, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

In the german WP this fact is mentioned. Not here in the english section? Someone should write it in the article, i mean.
