MODERATORS
Roblox is one of the most evil companies in the world, actively exploiting children for profit and for cheap labor. A joke for safety guardrails (you can’t even restrict your child from adding anyone as a friend or restrict them from receiving friend requests from total strangers, all you can do is block them after the fact). They allow children to create accounts with no email or verification so that they can get around parental controls and engage with predators if they are motivated and resourceful
Evidence of predators abusing children on their app and their response is to silence the people shining the light on it.
There may be good things that come from Roblox but it’s ran by some of the most despicable people and is a net negative in the world in my opinion
