BBC: The woman who successfully sued the website that matched her with a paedophile explains how she forced the site to close down. ‘Alice’, or A.M. as she was known in court says she feels "vindic…::“Alice” speaks exclusively to the BBC after her successful lawsuit against Omegle forced it offline.
You haven’t said why it matters it was privately run.
It matters that it had private rooms, but there tend to be private areas in public spaces like parks too. The analogy actually works much better if the kid’s computer is in a public place and they don’t have unrestricted access to the internet through a phone - obviously in either case it’s harder to abuse someone in secret if you have to take the initial risk of meeting somewhere you could be spotted, and only then move it private.
You’re really desperate to divert from the fact that the owner knew what was going on and did basically nothing to stop it. And it made money.
He did take action to stop it - he aided in multiple prosecutions. What he didn’t do was turn the site into something completely different, with mandatory registration.
Meanwhile, in reality:
How does that contradict what I said, or else what point are you trying to make?
Even though you’re quite sure the site owner needed to do more to stop paedophiles, you haven’t said what. Is what you think he should have done to have sacrificed anonymity?
I pasted the content of the article, which is the exact opposite of your claim. So… Care to back up your claim, or are you pulling it out of thin air?
Statement by Leif K-Brooks:
Example article: https://www.guelphmercury.com/news/crime/guelph-man-can-no-longer-be-teacher-after-child-porn-conviction/article_7b1fca76-cef1-56e5-a9e7-cb9091ac43bb.html
The NCMEC received information from Omegle about the activities of a paedophile and it led to their conviction.
But your quote is not the opposite of my claim. It says that “the site has been mentioned in more than 50 cases against paedophiles.” How many of those cases included evidence collected and submitted by Omegle?
Do please answer my question:
Oh, I see. You’re simping for the owner of the website. Despite the fact that, in the article you posted, it was the police who did all the work and the website owner who did not.
You haven’t answered my question. If you dislike anonymity that much, why are you hiding it? It’s important because a lot of people, especially on places like this, are fans of anonymity.
If you shout loudly about how awful something is but neglect to mention that your proposed solution is harmful in some other way, then you’re being dishonest. Using pointlessly charged language like “simping” just contributes to that.
And in the article, the police would not have been able to do any work if they hadn’t been informed with the help of the owner. Your dismissal is backpedaling: you asserted that K-Brooks didn’t do anything to stop abuse on the site, but he did, by encouraging prosecutions against people who used the site to commit abuse. You never demanded that he get out there and citizens’ arrest the guys himself, because you knew that would be a stupid thing to demand.
