Omegle, the video chatting platform that paired strangers on the internet, has shut down after 14 years.
The app, which grew in popularity during the pandemic, is facing abuse allegations claiming it matched children with pedophiles.
According to the BBC, Omegle has been named in more than 50 child abuse cases in the last couple of years.
“There can be no honest accounting of Omegle without acknowledging that some people misused it, including to commit unspeakably heinous crimes,” Leif Brooks, the site’s founder, wrote in a blogpost.
