The battle for Omegle has been lost, but the war against the Internet rages on. Virtually every online communication service has been subject to the same kinds of attack as Omegle; and while some of them are much larger companies with much greater resources, they all have their breaking point somewhere. I worry that, unless the tide turns soon, the Internet I fell in love with may cease to exist, and in its place, we will have something closer to a souped-up version of TV – focused largely on passive consumption, with much less opportunity for active participation and genuine human connection. If that sounds like a bad idea to you, please consider donating to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an organization that fights for your rights online.

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.”

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.

You don’t need to read the article if you’ve ever been to omegle even once. Just because you’re desensitized to a bunch if dudes jacking off, doesn’t mean we should be. fuck omegle.

How did you get from child porn that harms minors to dudes jacking off? That’s not the same or equivalent.

Oh no, not the children!
Wouldn’t be an issue if parents properly monitored the kid’s Internet access.

I never used Omegle but got the impression it was basically “what if 4chan but video.” I also relate to the fears of the corporatization of the internet, but I feel that is more like “we need more places like Neocities” and not “we need to protect our cesspools from regulation.”

You. You’re the problem. You’re what’s wrong with the internet.
MamboGator@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Because I think that a site’s owners have a responsibility to curate their content to prevent illegal material from proliferating?

A single member of a collective doesn’t get to speak for the colective.

Then why are you talking about it? Why come here just to spew completely uniformed conjecture?

Why are toy so vehemently defending a well known distribution point for pedophelia?

There’s child porn on the internet. Let’s ban the entire internet to stop it.
At least then I won’t have to read your dumb thoughts anymore.
