Omegle, founded in 2009 by then-18-year-old Leif K-Brooks, gained global attention as a platform that allows people to anonymously chat, talk, and interact with strangers from all over the world. Users do not have to register, and thus there is no room to reveal any personal information.
At its launch in 2009, Brooks described the platform as “the idea of ‘meeting new people’ distilled down to almost its platonic ideal: the intrinsic safety benefits of the internet; users were anonymous to each other by default”.
The statement partly reads: “Over the years, people have used Omegle to explore foreign cultures; to get advice about their lives from impartial third parties; and to help alleviate feelings of loneliness and isolation. I’ve even heard stories of soulmates meeting on Omegle, and getting married. Those are only some of the highlights.
“I believe in a responsibility to be a “good Samaritan”, and to implement reasonable measures to fight crime and other misuse. That is exactly what Omegle did. In addition to the basic safety feature of anonymity, there was a great deal of moderation behind the scenes, including state-of-the-art AI operating in concert with a wonderful team of human moderators. Omegle punched above its weight in content moderation, and I’m proud of what we accomplished.
