Omegle has been shut down. The owner claims that there was a coordinated effort to use CSAM to make hosting the site impossible. They succeeded despite his best efforts. This is the future of all small websites if something is not done. omegle.com/

The author encourages people to donate to @EFF but it's worth mentioning that the EFF is no longer useful for its original purpose and key members of its structure are politically active. The EFF is not a hero. There are no heroes. No one is coming to save the Internet.

This site had 18.5 million hits a year not exactly small

Compared to the big platforms, it is small. But mid-sized also doesn't cut it these days. You're either on a billion dollar platform or you are destined to be ground up and shit out.

Omegle was a cesspool of MAPs (like Beardson) IMO. So I'm conflicted on this outcome.

Seems operational, with CSAM as the ammo. In this case, no one knows the assailant, and the victim gets punished. Make it bad enough, and you've manufactured consent to legislate away anonymity. Rough times for the Internet.

Sad. He's had to deal with so many bullshit lawsuits. Of course it turns out this way.
