According to Brooks, he shut the website down stating constant events of
rape and pornography associated with Omegle throughout its history.
On the website, Brooks stated
"Omegle is the direct target of these attacks, but their ultimate victim is you: all of you out there who have used, or would have used, Omegle to improve your lives, and the lives of others. When they say Omegle shouldn’t exist, they are really saying that you shouldn’t be allowed to use it; that you shouldn’t be allowed to meet random new people online. That idea is anathema to the ideals I cherish – specifically, to the bedrock principle of a free society that, when restrictions are imposed to prevent crime, the burden of those restrictions must not be targeted at innocent victims or potential victims of crime."
Nevertheless, he later stated,
"...However, fear can also be a mental cage that keeps us from all of the things that make life worth living.", claiming that felt he needed to say so in concordance to the pattern of rape on and outside of Omegle.
