    Of all the sites the center tracked, only Facebook, Google, Instagram, and WhatsApp ranked higher.

    If there are four that are worse, “only” seems out of place on that sentence.

      I was surprised by that too. It also minimizes the sheer amount of users on those platforms. We’re talking billions of people if not nearly every single person in the world.

      How many daily users did Omegle have?

      This site says 3.35 million daily active users.

      I guess having so many fewer users made Omegle a bigger problem, proportionally.
