Apparently this lawsuit was the breaking point.

Foid decided 10 years later to sue the site that allowed her and her abuser to meet. Not sure how omegle is responsible for the actions of the abuser. However, it doesn't matter because it seems omegle doesn't have the means to fight the battle and decided to close shop. RIP.
Here's an excerpt from the founder's final thoughts. This hit me pretty hard and kinda sums up the noticeable decline of the internet.
I worry that, unless the tide turns soon, the Internet I fell in love with may cease to exist, and in its place, we will have something closer to a souped-up version of TV – focused largely on passive consumption, with much less opportunity for active participation and genuine human connection.

She was 11 at the time and was manipulated by a p-dophile, it's not exactly a situation where she needs to be held accountable.

She was coerced! She was forced! He literally held a gun to her head through the computer screen!
She is abundantly full of shit and regrets acting like a dumb whore at such a young age (assuming any of this is true).

Most 11 year olds are not this stupid. Most people can realize that they were molested before turning 21.
This woman is literally r-slurred and should be sterilized

She's known that she was molested for a long time. Now that she's 21, she wants money.
