Totally sounds like it will only stops kids talking to adults but not adults talking to kids. The creeps already try to get their victims to communicate off-platform using unmoderated services. Unless this blocks the kids' from seeing the adults' messages, the adults trying to fuck with kids could just tell them to use a different messenger.

Fuck yeah! I can finally enjoy my Roblox without being harassed by children.

It's funny how we can just browbeat people into doing what we want.

Rules and laws don't matter.

I don't allow my kids to play it. It sucks, but the reality is the game has been captured by pedos. I saw too many questionable things when I watched them play. Invariably they will be unsupervised at some point, even for brief periods, so it is not worth the risk.

From next month it will start enforcing facial age estimation to allow children to chat with strangers only if they are in their broad age group.

This is going to backfire spectacularly, what idiots.

Problem: the game is getting a notoriety for being infested by pedophiles and the developers are actively protecting them.

Solution: send your photographs to the game infested by pedophiles to prove you are a real child!

Fucking. Incredible. If this was written in a manuscript, it would be tossed for being too cartoonishly unrealistic.

See, what I figured out is that I don't have to let my son play Roblox. Sure, he might be the "weird" one who's dad doesn't let him. But he was going to be "weird" anyway. That's just how our lives work.

Plus you have AuADHD, having it myself, it makes you vulnerable to predators in ways you can't understand yet.

I wouldn't be complaining about this, except I am because Roblox is operated by pedos.

Something extreme measures such as face recognition has to be taken to ensure problems like this won't happen again. However, though, pedophiles having access to data storage containing such verifications can go so wrong on so many levels.

So heres what they should do:

Fire and prosecute all of the pedos. Replace the pedos with trustworthy people to operate Roblox. Then go through verifying.

God forbid they just shut down the chat function??? Ffs

So, Roblox is shutting down? The entire thing is a child sex crime, so unless they’re shutting down, nothing has changed

after string of lawsuits.
