    When do the alcoholics get to sue the bars/pubs for “forcing” them to walk through the door and order a drink?

    Another good thing falls to the whims of lack of personal responsibility, parenting, and Helen (won’t someone think of the children?!) Lovejoy syndrome. Now the predators will just continue to do there thing in a darker hole that is even harder to find.

      If a drunk driver kills someone then the place who served them is sued

      That darker hole is discord though, I wrote to them begging them to shut down their public server/community finder

        Personally I think this is crazy, and totally without merit.

        I’ve been using Discord since 2017 and not once have I had some random stranger get naked on camera. I’m not saying that there aren’t problems with it. There probably are. I just think that saying it’s worse than Omegle is bizarre.

          I didn’t say worse, I said it was the place they’d go to

          But from my experience I’d say you’re lucky you haven’t been solicited or sent unrequested nude photos

      I’m confused, are you saying that it was the 11 year old girl’s personal responsibility to avoid being the victim of sexual abuse? Or are you saying that it was her parents’ responsibility to be monitoring her technology use 24/7?

      Neither seems right to me…

      Now the predators will just continue to do there thing in a darker hole that is even harder to find.

      If it’s harder to find, then fewer children stumble upon it and get preyed upon, which is a good thing.

        Dunno about parent commenter, but that is exactly what I am saying. The parent is responsible for the minor child’s safety. That would include not giving her unmonitored unrestricted internet access until she reaches an age when she can safely use it. That is literally what parental controls are there for.

        To make an analogy- The kid here was playing in the street and got hit by a drunk driver. The solution to that isn’t to put Ford out of business for making the truck, or to put fences on every sidewalk. The solution is throw the drunk driver in jail and remind parents not to let their kids play in the street.

        My point is that the safety of that 11 year old is no more Omegles responsibility than it is a bar’s responsibility to prevent the drunk from drinking.

        If the answer to children getting into things that they shouldn’t is not allowing those things to exist then that is not a workable or desirable solution in the long term.

        Children aren’t supposed to play 18+ rated games. But few of them did so, we’re shutting down all games👌

      I don’t understand the comparison. Are the children being preyed upon the alcoholics in this scenario?
