      Hmm yes, making sure that parents (or someone else) knows what children are doing online is a good idea…

          You drew a distinction between a park and children doing stuff online (on certain websites) by saying that in a park, everyone can see everyone else (which is not true - there are usually secluded spots in parks). This is no distinction at all if a child’s parents knows what they are doing online.

            Except in the case of the Omegle company, the creator knew things were happening with children, and he still intentionally created those spaces. We could say that he rents out vans for free with the phrase “free candy” painted on the side of them, but he doesn’t know what the people who get the vans are doing with them, or who they are inviting into the vans.

            And in this analogy, you find the guy who rents out the vans and start licking his boot, for reasons I don’t understand.

              You’re still replying, mate.

              That, in spite of the fact that you seem to have run out of arguments? So replying without contributing… and you’re calling me obsessed. k!
