Omegle
Have you been hearing about the website ‘Omegle’ regularly? Are you wondering what in the world is ‘Omegle’? Are you confused about whether or not to visit the site? Well then, stop all your musings because ladies and gentlemen, today you are going to learn a little more about the site Omegle.
Omegle is a website where you can chat with strangers without identifying yourself. You can say it is a chatroulette website. You are paired randomly with a stranger in one-on-one chat and you will not even know who you are talking to and neither will the other person (until and unless both of you don’t share your whole history in the chat). You are just branded as “You” and the other person is branded as “Stranger”. Previously, it was just used to send text - chats, however, now it has video chat services as well. So, if you want to, you can even see the so-called ‘Stranger’ through webcam. Sounds fun, right?
But you have to take precautions while using Omegle. Despite its fun and new features it has created some serious issues. Even though it has stated that no children under age 13 can use it and no teenager under 18 can use it without parent’s guidance, cases of sharing of nude pictures and sexual content video has been found. So, if you have children, then be a responsible parent and say no to the use of Omegle by them.
What if you are over 18? Should you use Omegle? The answer depends on you. You should experience the fun parts of it but you should stay away from its dark side. As the saying goes ‘Better safe than sorry’, you should take the following precautions while using Omegle.
~If someone starts to talk dirty, do not hesitate to log out of the chat.
~Make it clear to the ‘Stranger’ that you do not want to have any dirty conversations.
~Do not give any detailed information about yourselves.
~Do not under any circumstances send your pictures to the ‘Stranger’.
~Do not be gullible and trust whatever the ‘Stranger’ says.
~Have fun with Omegle but beware of some people.
Omegle is an interesting way to meet new people and learn new things about them. But, you have to take necessary precautions because many people are using it for cybersex and other illegal activities.
