Of all the sites the center tracked, only Facebook, Google, Instagram, and WhatsApp ranked higher.
If there are four that are worse, “only” seems out of place on that sentence.
Comment on Omegle Was Forced to Shut Down by a Lawsuit From a Sexual Abuse Survivor

In 2022, there were 608,601 reports of child exploitation on Omegle to the nonprofit National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s CyberTipline. Of all the sites the center tracked, only Facebook, Google, Instagram, and WhatsApp ranked higher.
That’s a crazy high number. Especially for a live content platform which I assume can only ever have individual reports of live interactions?

I was surprised by that too. It also minimizes the sheer amount of users on those platforms. We’re talking billions of people if not nearly every single person in the world.
How many daily users did Omegle have?
This site says 3.35 million daily active users.
I guess having so many fewer users made Omegle a bigger problem, proportionally.

I wanted to hear what they had to say. People report on stuff and do journalism. Oh, well. I’ve been labeled and shamed already good bye
