This may be an unpopular view, but predators will always find tools to meet children online. Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok, Roblox, Minecraft and 100’s of other sites exist. It’s the equivalent of taking out a cartel boss, there’s plenty of other cartel members that will fill the void.

From what I understand, Omegle made significant efforts in terms of moderation. Parents and guardians need to have ultimate accountability for educating and moderating their children’s internet consumption.
