    I know from the various summaries that it was shut down because the owner couldn’t prevent his users from using it to distribute illegal material including child porn, and so he gave up fighting them over it. Since you’re so upset by its shutdown, I’ll just go ahead and also assume that you were personally affected by this decision. You might want to listen for the 4chan Party Van.

      Reading the article it sounded more like he was tired of dealing with people who hated on the platform - like you.

      They had moderators working full time and numerous protections in place (including AI that detected nudity). They actually led to the arrest of many paedophiles and had numoerous contacts with international law enforcement and child protection agencies.

      If you read the article you’d see he was more ruined by the people screeching it needs to be shut down because it was a nest of paedos. People who’d probably never fucking used the site (like you) who’d just heard rumours (like you) and had no fucking clue about the moderation and arrests that went on in the background.

      Guess what - paedos will always fucking exist. If anything Omegle was a honeypot for the stupid few who thought they could use it and get away with it only to find out they couldn’t and got arrested.

      Instead now paedos will go elsewhere. More underground. Harder to find. Harder to catch.

      Congratulations. You’re ignorant pearl clutching is precisely what the site admin couldn’t deal with anymore and you’ve made paedos harder to catch in the act.

      I hope you’re proud.

        Pearl clutching and wanting to protect children from a sea of (practically unmoderated) naked cocks is not the same thing you absolute thundercunt.

          If your child has access to a stream of cocks that is a failure of the parents and not Omegle. You know Pornhub exists? Typing “dick” into Google is a thing?

              In what world did I blame the child? If a kid climbs on a dresser while unattended and the dresser crushes them, you blame the parent, not the dresser.

              And since I probably have to spell it out, a rapist would be the equivalent of someone pushing the dresser onto the child, so obviously you would blame the person. But in this hypothetical, Omegle is an inanimate piece of furniture. Any piece of furniture would suffice, the problem is the lack of parental presence and the person crushing the child.

              Do you also allow your kids to go free climbing tall cliffs and mountains? Parents have a fucking job to parent. It’s literally in the fucking job description to protect them from harm. It’s not up to society to stop your sprog from being a cunt.
