The answer

It is not permissible for young men to chat with young women online. Furthermore, a female friend's indication of (encouragement to use) chat is wrong if she is not upright, and one must repent from that. However, if she is upright, there is no harm. "Whoever calls to misguidance will bear a burden of sin equivalent to the sins of those who follow him." Nevertheless, sincere repentance erases sin. It is necessary to advise the friend and admonish her to abandon chat and return to the straight path.
