They left some good quotes with the farewell message:

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

“In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”

Most sites are over-moderated and content is restricted. While activity pertaining minors/nonconsenting parties was bad, it's hard to blame the host.

I always think of these publicly accessible sites like public spaces/pubs. If someone in a pub does something illegal, they get arrested, not usually the pub owner, unless the owner also participated.

Some people are slow learners. Not sure how Omegle was even funded

Seems like lazy parents have got it shut down rather than stop their kids using the site

Sad to see it go. But finally got some cock perverts off the web lol. They will just find another site to move on to.
