==Controversy==
There is alot of controversy surrounding PalTalk which never quite makes it to press.
Let's start with the fact that their 'Administration' is constantly accused of morally unexceptable behaviour such as spying for personal entertainment purposes, sexially deviant activities such as propositioning attractive female users found in the systems Adult Rooms Catagory.

The PalTalk Administration consists of tiers each having his/her own level of powers within the program.

All PalTalk employees have red nicknames. Actually more of a brick red color.
They are listed below according to rank, from lowest to highest.

XXXXX(palhost)- not an official employee, but a volunteer generally chosen to do the 'grunt work' in the Help Lobbies or elsewhere. I.E answering the phones and taking notes (addressing users on the mic and distributing them among higher ranks for official support).

XXXXX(palhelp)- again, another volunteer user bedecked in red. A sort of glorified secretary.

XXXXX(palsupport)- a volunteer as well, though with slightly more prestige than the afore mentioned due to the fact that the word 'support' alone indicates some type of authentic affiliation with PalTalk corp. and secondly because they do possess the ability to lie in stealth mode within both public and private rooms. Qualified to assist users or rather, to summarize the problem and then refer that user to a higher up for assistance. Rather like a PalTalk concierge.

XXXXX(paltech)- considered a step up from being merely a palsupport agent among their ilk. These volunteers have been promoted due to their technical prowess and knowledge/experience of and with the PalTalk program itself.

Lets get to the meat of it shall we.

XXXXX(co-admin)- these are the representatives of full PalTalk admins. Those with the (paltalk) or (PalTalkAdminX) attached to their user ID. They spend most of their time invisible on the program, monitoring rooms and users for misconduct, as well as the Help Lobbies. They have the abilities to enter any room invisibly, as well as monitor a PM conversation between users as well as that of palhosts, palhelps, palsupports, and paltechs. They may also monitor a particular user's comings and goings. They may ban a user without giving a warning and/or prior notice. They may stop accounts (disable the nickname) regardless of it being a black nickname (free) or a paid account (green or blue) as they see fit. They may close down a room as they see fit, going by the TOS. When first hired, they are presented with a PalTalk Administration Handbook in the form of a PDF which is outlines the list of commands which may be executed. They are officially employed by PalTalk corp. At the rate of $500USD monthly.
There are only a small number of them.

(paltalk)- full administrators each of whom possess the ability to restrict (ban), disconnect socket (cause a user to go offline in effect without the benefit of a warning or message) stop (remove) an account, ECT. These are the top level administrators. They answer to no other admin. They answer only to PalTalk corp. investment partners when deemed necessary. They are for the most part stealth admins, working quietly in the background among each other to keep things running smoothly on the program. They hardly interfere with user disputes, leaving this chose to their representatives; the co-admins.


Paltalk was once criticized for allegedly installing the ] tool bar from My Way without the users knowledge, however they no longer engage in this practice.

Paltalk is also criticised by its user base for not adopting a "hands off" approach to administrating its rooms. Unlike other chat services like ], the administrators at Paltalk are very involved with mediating what is allowed to be discussed. For example, a comment advocating military escalation in political discussions can lead to the user being banned. This is outlined in their Terms of Service as follows:

"Without limiting the foregoing, examples of unacceptable conduct include: (a) threatening, harassing, or intimidating another user, (b) transmitting any unlawful, threatening, abusive, profane, offensive, defamatory, or hateful text or voice communication or Images or other material, or any racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable material, or any material that violates or infringes the intellectual property or privacy or publicity or other rights of any other party; (c) using any obscene or offensive alias; impersonating another user, including, without limitation, a Paltalk employee, administrator or representative; (d) disparaging the Paltalk service, Paltalk or its representatives, administrators or employees or solicitation; (e) posting or transmitting any advertising, promotional materials or other forms of solicitation to other users; (f) permitting language, text or images that are inappropriate to the room you host or abusing your right to take action against participants in your room or (g) disrupting the normal operation of any chat room or otherwise acting in a manner that negatively impacts other users or is inconsistent with the rating of a room or attempting, soliciting or abetting another to do of any of the above."

While item (b) is fairly common in most TOSs, what is unusual is the strict enforcement of the policy with regards to not only objectionable material but also material that can is determined to be offensive, in the judgment of Paltalk. The uniqueness of item (d) is indeterminable, but no analogue in any other popular chat service visibly exists. These factors have combined to lead to allegations of ].

Paltalk is a proprietary video group chat service that enables users to communicate by video, Internet chat, or voice.

History

In 2007, the filmed suicide of one of the service's users was widely reported in the media. Concerns were raised over the possibility that it could inspire further suicides.

Paltalk filed a series of patent lawsuits against video game developers claiming they were infringing U.S. patents 5,822,523 and 6,226,686 "Server-group messaging system for interactive applications", patents they purchased from the now-defunct company HearMe in 2002. Paltalk first brought a case against Microsoft in 2006, claiming Halo and Xbox Live violated its patent rights, and later settled out of court.

In 2009, Paltalk then moved on to Sony, Activision Blizzard, NCsoft, Jagex and Turbine, Inc., claiming that these companies are also violating Paltalk's patents whose damages range in the "tens of millions of dollars". In 2010, a US judge dismissed the lawsuit against Jagex and stated "After reviewing source code for the RuneScape video game made available by Jagex, Paltalk and Jagex agree that the RuneScape video game does not infringe the patents-in-suit."

In June 2013, it was revealed that Paltalk was targeted by the National Security Agency's PRISM surveillance program.

Tinychat

In December 2014, Tinychat was acquired by Paltalk. Paltalk stated that Tinychat would remain a standalone application. Tinychat was an online chat website that allowed users to communicate via instant messaging, voice chat, and video chat. It offered instant opportunities for people to meet and the ability for users to create their own virtual chat room on any topic or category. Tinychat was a web-based platform that works on HTML5 compatible browsers or standalone apps for Android or iOS. The chat rooms could contain a rolling maximum of 12 video and audio feeds. Tinychat, including all of its services, was owned by PeerStream.

On November 16, 2009, Tinychat launched Tinychat.tv, which offers users the ability to live stream any video or show hosted on Tinychat. The service uses Tinychat's API and provides the ability to launch a personalized page and channel for initiating multi-user shows. Tinychat has also announced that it will not charge for the cost of bandwidth. Based upon restrictions, Tinychat.tv has been closed.

In February 2010, Tinychat launched Tinychat Next, a service similar to Chatroulette. Tinychat Next differs from Chatroulette with the addition of topic-based rooms.

In January 2011, Tinychat raised $1.5 million in funding.

In late 2017, Tinychat revamped its entire website layout. It incorporated a WebRTC version of its chat rooms to replace its older RTMP flash-based chat rooms. The site also added HD video streaming, along with Android/iOS mobile device streaming with compatible devices, via the Tinychat application.

On December 16th 2024, an announcement that Tinychat had ended services and closed down appeared on the Tinychat website. The shutdown announcement page featured an advertisement for Paltalk.
