Omegle was forced to shut down as part of a settlement of a user’s lawsuit claiming its design enabled her to be sexually abused since when she was 11  —  Omegle connected strangers to one another and had a long-standing problem of pairing minors with sexual predators.  A legal settlement took it down.
