    Snapchat is e2ee from what I understand. How are they supposed to monitor what goes on there? I’m unaware of the Chaturbate platform. As for Omegle, look at the sheer amount of users. How exactly were they supposed to block every single dick that popped up? It’s a problem of the registration-less, anonymous chat model rather than Omegle itself.

      Then how does this happen? https://securityboulevard.com/2019/05/snapchat-workers-snooped-on-users-with-internal-tool/

      Omegle attracted a certain kind of crowd with the anonymity ripe for abuse, and let it exist since atleast 2014/15 at this point I’d say. I never used these services myself due to the stigma, but have been aware on surface level how this crap is operated. There have been no screenings or age verifications for minors video streaming anonymously, and Brooks (service owner) refused accountability. https://endsexualexploitation.org/articles/omegle-needs-accountability-for-facilitating-the-exploitation-of-children/

          I did not know being vigilant in society is the same as OCD. But go on, you must satiate your own profound biases.
