> Omegle is the direct target of these attacks

Does anyone here have any more details about exactly what types of attacks Omegle was being targeted?

> In recent years, it seems like the whole world has become more ornery. Maybe that has something to do with the pandemic, or with political disagreements. Whatever the reason, people have become faster to attack, and slower to recognize each other’s shared humanity. One aspect of this has been a constant barrage of attacks on communication services, Omegle included, based on the behavior of a malicious subset of users.



My guess would be activists and strong regulatory/legislative pressure, moral panic. Kinda resonates with the recent legislative attacks on E2EE.
