Omegle is specifically designed to facilitate communication between strangers. Users can choose to actively message or video call other users or to observe a conversation anonymously in “spy” mode. Some people use Omegle as a form of dating platform, often as a means to share or receive sexual content. Unfortunately, this also includes predators who may inflict unwanted sexual images or messages on unsuspecting users, some of whom are underage. Indeed, it appears pedophiles and other sexual predators use Omegle to contact victims and may exploit certain features of Omegle to blackmail their victims.
