    I’m confused, are you saying that it was the 11 year old girl’s personal responsibility to avoid being the victim of sexual abuse? Or are you saying that it was her parents’ responsibility to be monitoring her technology use 24/7?

    Neither seems right to me…

    Now the predators will just continue to do there thing in a darker hole that is even harder to find.

    If it’s harder to find, then fewer children stumble upon it and get preyed upon, which is a good thing.

      My point is that the safety of that 11 year old is no more Omegles responsibility than it is a bar’s responsibility to prevent the drunk from drinking.

      If the answer to children getting into things that they shouldn’t is not allowing those things to exist then that is not a workable or desirable solution in the long term.

      Children aren’t supposed to play 18+ rated games. But few of them did so, we’re shutting down all games👌
