Another quesion is: where is visa, mastercard now? Shouldn't they stop working with roblox?
Nono. Playing games with sex: bad. Grooming and sexually abusing kids: The new Summer Trend sparked by President Chomo.
Release the Epstein Files btw.
10,000% truth
Why would they stop working with Roblox? It's the perfect platform for their execs to use when they're looking to cheat on their SOs.
Porn is too heavily regulated for them, so they don't like it. To begin with, it has a minimum age requirement that's much higher than Roblox.
Payment processors (and any banks that are a part of it) can't really be hated more than they already are. It's amazing how much someone can fuck over society as a whole without any remorse. Narcissists and psychopaths I guess. I hope I see the companies cease to exist at some point during my life, and not be replaced with something worse (or equally as bad).
Uffff brutal
People Make Games reported them 3 YEARS AGO.
nothing was done then. Probably same thing is going to happen here. MAYBE roblox gets slightly better modderation, but i doubt it. The inceased modderation could also make the game unplayable for innocent users.
Worst part is that its such a lose lose situation roblox shutting down will remove acess to alot of the hard work the child slave devs did keeping the platform alive. People are going to miss roblox join private servers and boom back at square one. Club Penguin all over again.
I watched a bit of the content creator schlep and was honestly disapointed with how THIS type of content is what triggered this whole debacle. There have been plenty of other people exposing issues prior to this. but i guess if you put a scary thumbnail and read all the chat logs as if youre edging the whole time... whatever gets the preds off the intetnet ig I can at least be happy that people are FINALLY talking about it again.
People have been kidnapped! For fucks sake.

Yeah, this is unfortunately not new.
Roblox also exploits children directly for labor:
Investigation: How Roblox Is Exploiting Young Game Developers
Roblox Pressured Us to Delete Our Video. So We Dug Deeper.
It's basically their business model.
Also, the security manager sold his shares right before making the public statement about banning Schlepp. Isn't insider trading even more illegal than child slavery?
This is, very unfortunately, what happens in every internet space which is targeted towards children and allows communication among users. It is by far the easiest way for anonymous predatory adults to make contact with typically unattended children. I would like at some point to see a child-oriented space on the internet have the highest priority of children's safety at some point, but there hasn't been one yet.
I mean I'm sure there's been some... but well how popular would they be. I mean the long and short of how it has to be done... no private messages, all public messages heavily monitored. Which unfortunately isn't a recipe for making a site popular with kids.
But is roblox facilitating and monetizing sexual predation?
Definitely. They could do something about this but they would make less profit.
Seeing as Roblox being a groomer infested hellhole has been known for years it's surprised me that it took this long for that story to actually break into the mainstream.
But anyways yeah. Predator hive is full of predators, more news at eleven.
I made a post about it for a more general discussion but I think it's worth saying here too: Chris Hansen is an irresponsible hack at best and he is very likely to misinform. There are far better people around if you want to learn about the many harms to children caused by Roblox.
Roblox is a pure abyss devoid of humanity and I wish them just the worst. Also I belive 100% that everything you wrote is the truth, but I also believe in adding some sources when the matter is of such a significance
Maybe I can add later but I just read superficially about it, maybe someone can contribute with some sources
To me, it was a convenient 3D modelling game engine that allowed for live drop-in/drop-out testing of scripts and functions.
Its just disappointing that the social side has become so catastrophically horrific that it will likely drag the utility down with it.
They have said clearly that they care more about profits than the safety of the real people, even childen, playing their game.
Warning, this article is graphic but it goes over nearly everything that is fucked up about Roblox.
