MANILA, Philippines – Opisyal nang nagsara matapos ang 14 na taon ng operasyon ang libreng online chat website na Omegle.
Ang anunsyong ito ng founder na si Leif K-Brooks nitong Huwebes, Nobyembre 9, ay kasabay ng mahaba nitong paliwanag tungkol sa “barrage of attacks on communication services, Omegle included, based on the behavior of a malicious subset of users.”
“As much as I wish circumstances were different, the stress and expense of this fight – coupled with the existing stress and expense of operating Omegle, and fighting its misuse – are simply too much,” ani K-Brooks.
“Operating Omegle is no longer sustainable, financially nor psychologically,” dagdag pa niya.
“Frankly, I don’t want to have a heart attack in my 30s.”
Nagpasalamat naman ito sa lahat ng mga tumangkilik sa plataporma sa nakalipas na 14 na taon.
“From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who used Omegle for positive purposes,” aniya.
“[And] to everyone who contributed to the site’s success in any way[,] I’m so sorry I couldn’t keep fighting for you,” dagdag pa ng founder.
Ang Omegle ay inilunsad noong 2009, kung saan nagbigay-daan ang naturang chat website para makipag-usap sa iba’t ibang tao online.
Noong 2021, matatandaan na nangaroling pa si Mimiyuuuh at Kween Yasmin sa Omegle. RNT/JGC
