BBC: The woman who successfully sued the website that matched her with a paedophile explains how she forced the site to close down. ‘Alice’, or A.M. as she was known in court says she feels "vindic…::“Alice” speaks exclusively to the BBC after her successful lawsuit against Omegle forced it offline.
You forget that children can be easily manipulated as their brains are literally not capable of proper judgement in most situations
Mm, I guess that’s why the park needs to be shut/we can never let children go there unattended.
The park metaphor sucks.
Omegle was not a park, it was a privately run website with private rooms where strangers hung out unsupervised.
The owner knew better, and barely chose to put up a disclaimer.
You haven’t said why it matters it was privately run.
It matters that it had private rooms, but there tend to be private areas in public spaces like parks too. The analogy actually works much better if the kid’s computer is in a public place and they don’t have unrestricted access to the internet through a phone - obviously in either case it’s harder to abuse someone in secret if you have to take the initial risk of meeting somewhere you could be spotted, and only then move it private.
You’re really desperate to divert from the fact that the owner knew what was going on and did basically nothing to stop it. And it made money.
He did take action to stop it - he aided in multiple prosecutions. What he didn’t do was turn the site into something completely different, with mandatory registration.
Meanwhile, in reality:
How does that contradict what I said, or else what point are you trying to make?
Even though you’re quite sure the site owner needed to do more to stop paedophiles, you haven’t said what. Is what you think he should have done to have sacrificed anonymity?
I pasted the content of the article, which is the exact opposite of your claim. So… Care to back up your claim, or are you pulling it out of thin air?
