So apparently Omegle only just died this year.
We don't know the full story, but it seems to have involved predators using the platform to get access to children, so, that's awful. We found out because we stumbled over our 2010 post about doing a Turing test in Omegle and went and followed the link, but apparently there's been a decade of memes on Tumblr about Omegle being a haven for predators and it took a lawsuit by one of the victims to bring it down.
So, that sure is a thing.
