Yes, they should. The moment they don't allow minors in their site they have to implement the measures to enforce it.

Omegle became a safe haven for pedophiles and sex predators, and they are responsable for enabling them and not protecting their users.

There are other chat and video-chat sites that not only enforce their rules, they protect their users and ban those who don't follow the rules.

No, don't expect that from car manufacturers, they make cars not rules. Omegle, instead, made 'the car' and the rule not allowing minors in the site to avoid their responsibilities by law. They didn't enforce that rule and endangered them.

By your logic, as it reads to me, every porn site, adult novel, car, hunting rifle, vape, and can of beer, is responsible if an underage user is harmed.

They must implement technical measures to accurately detect if someone is underage?

All these things should be banned until this technology exists?
