Roblox Is Fighting to Keep Pedophiles Away and Not Always Winning

The internet’s biggest recreation zone for kids is struggling to keep predators off its platform.

I was vaguely aware that shit like this happened in these game but reading the exact mechanisms was gut wrenching.

The c-suite for this game should be summarily executed.

    Ah, they use political propaganda too. One of the most popular games incited a “bias” (best way to say that as manufacturing consent doesn’t particularly fit) in one of their most popular games by removing all pay to win features and currency as well as related options and gave everyone equal payments in “worthless currency” and called it socialism.

    The game is Bloxburg, I believe. They released popular character items (or sponsored, can’t remember) with “We want anti-communism”. Reminder that they are imprinting this on young children and have levers/mechanisms in public schools.

        I totally agree. The shitty thing is that they did it only to make kids want it again and drive home a political point and then reinstated it.

        Straight up political influencing on kids.
