Re this eSafety warning re OmeTV, also worth noting I think it was that app that the two Sydney nurses were on when making comments to an Israeli content creator that led to them getting fired and charged www.esafety.gov.au/newsroom/med...

Good Lord, are these apps still a thing? I thought they were shut down several years ago for this exact reason. WTF?

Chatroulette yes, but its shutdown spawned several clones.

Oh, that was the name! Dammit, what an abomination that turned out to be. I'm not generally one of those, "Won't somebody please think of the children!" people, but this was sexual abuse just twiddling its fingers and waiting, stage left, for its entrance cue. Holy Moly!

Also interesting that Apple and Google have been brought into it... could end up being the first use of the deplatforming power.

I've seen varying reports whether it was Ometv, or Chatrouletka or Omegle but they're all much the same.
