Omegle connected strangers to one another and had a long-standing problem of pairing minors with sexual predators. A legal settlement took it down.

      And that video was full of naked men masturbating, and curious kids, for just as long. It’s needed to be dealt with for waaaaaayyyyyy too long now.

          Fair enough. Maybe it had video by the time I discovered it or my memory is just failing me.
