Didn't Omegle have issues with child porn.
"Genuine human connection."
Look get the feeling of talking to people anonymously on the Internet but we aren't going to turn to robots because a video service shut down.
Fuck platforms like Omegle. Until their are better ways of restricting behavior that harms minors on platforms like Omegle I will take this as an opportunity to say, "time to move one."
EDIT: Didn't think this comment would open up this many issues. It is clear that Lemmy blames parents for not knowing what their child is doing 24/7 because apparently parents should know everything their child is doing. What an ideal world. I still stand by the previous statement. Fuck Omegle and fuck anyone who thinks their isn't an issue with child predators and Omegle and the abuse that has gone in their for years.
Let's not forget SSSniperwolfs video of asking 16 year olds to flash on Omegle and monetizing that on YouTube.
You're exactly the kind of person who would beg to shut down central park because someone got mugged there, just like he talks about in the article, which you clearly didn't read.
