Why does Omegle being privately owned matter? Does a city council have less responsibility than a private business to prevent harm? Do your parks have security patrolling them? I've never seen that. Was Omegle "full" of perverts, or were there are a handful in comparison to the many ordinary users, but our attention naturally focuses on the aberrant cases?

"club" implies membership, which Omegle didn't have, which is the whole issue, and why I went with a park which anyone can enter without registering, not a club.

Hmm yes, making sure that parents (or someone else) knows what children are doing online is a good idea...

You drew a distinction between a park and children doing stuff online (on certain websites) by saying that in a park, everyone can see everyone else (which is not true - there are usually secluded spots in parks). This is no distinction at all if a child's parents knows what they are doing online.

You're still replying, mate.

That, in spite of the fact that you seem to have run out of arguments? So replying without contributing... and you're calling me obsessed. k!
