Omegle cannot perfectly protect their users from other users, and cannot determine who is a minor without ID verification (as we have seen in Virginia and Mississippi for porn sites).

They clearly want the entire product category illegal. Omegle might be gone, but many similar services remain.

Does Discord or Zoom enforce their rules? How other sites like icanhazchat enforce that rule? Omegle didn't care about their own rules, endangering minors.
I think in modern times in theory they could have AI analyze the conversations to spot any such grooming behaviour.
