Omegle is a bit of a unique case due to their persistent non-action. Most places, if people start grooming children or broadcasting child porn, they'll start banning offenders at the very lest. Omegle, nah.
At one point, they put a warning splash screen "Careful: there are pedophiles that use this" or something like that, but they took the warning down after a while. And eventually they did officially say that you can't use the site if you're a minor, but of course it was just enforced through the honour system.
Those are literally the only two actions they ever took to address criminal content and behaviour.
