this was a tough article to write, as articles about this kind of abuse often are. I came into this appalled by the allegations against Omegle but leery of FOSTA, the Section 230 carveout that the plaintiffs used to successfully get the suit past the motion-to-dismiss stage. but...

Earlier this month, the anonymous chat website Omegle shut down as part of a settlement in a lawsuit over child sexual explotiation. Is the closure a victory against online sexual abuse, or a step onto a slippery slope? For @lawfare.bsky.social with @katherinepomps.bsky.social
