Roblox seems to be a platform for low-income pedophiles to find dates, so Congress is willing to look in to this one.

The... president is literally an accused pedophile and is named in the files he won't let be fully released. Don't pretend the people in power care about protecting children!

Timely.

It is crazy that a platform essentially ran on child labor also allows predators on said platform and some what protects them by sweeping the problem under the rug and hiding it.

Also the fact that everything's in robucks kind of reminds me of those old sugar mill/mining towns where they invented their own money to keep people enslaved.

What's crazier too is I completely forget about roblox, but everytime I hear it in the news it has quadrupled in size. I consider myself into gaming and roblox completely escapes my content feeds, and its pretty much larger then the entire gaming industry combined. Or at least was. So I don't know how parents can keep up with all this stuff.

Congress then proceeds to look the other way.

So the age verification didnt work?

So congress wants to protect children from loot boxes, but not rapey old perverts? Sounds about right.

I thought the government was primarily composed of people who hurt children

I’m skeptical they will do anything besides fine Roblox or implement more gross age verifications.

Roblox does have a really big problem. I know a kid who met predators on Roblox.

Roblox is unlike other children’s games because it’s more like a chatroom with games rather than a game with chat. That coupled with the fact that 60% of the user base is under 16yo is dangerous.

Parents think it looks like Minecraft and assume that means it is safe, but it’s not.

Grooming happens on Roblox but the actual crimes take place in private Discord servers.
