Seems you're right:

What this of course reveals (or confirms) is that for the last 18 years, Roblox has offered no way to prevent pre-teen children from accessing chat with complete strangers. Strangers who, as the Hindenburg report demonstrated, can sometimes be organized groups of pedophiles using Roblox to get access to children.

I've seen reports of this as early as mid 2010s...

I did not even know wtf Roblox was but kids and pedos sure seemed to find their way there.

Roblox general counsel are incompetent imbeciles AT BEST who along with "executive" team should be held criminally responsible.

But who are we kidding?! Good money was made, fuck your kids.

But at the end of the day... if you aint raising your kids, there is somebody else to "do the job" either a corpo or a pedo....

OR BOTH
