If anyone can make a compilation of news and articles in the facts, that would be great.
For those who don’t know, Roblox is a publicly traded company and they are down almost 2bn dol on the stock market because they are being accused of facilitating the sexual exploration and grooming of children.
They just banned a player who was groomed by a roblox developer and then started a catch a predator project that resulted in the arrest of 6 adults accused of predating on children using the game.
Chris Hansen contacted the player and they are doing a documentary on the sexual predation that occurs on the plataform. There is a class action, so if you are in the US and know someone who has been abused on roblox, you should contact them.
I don’t know much about the situation, I just watched a couple articles about it.
To top it all off, the CEO announced that roblox is pivoting to becoming a dating website. This is not the onion, fellers.

Another quesion is: where is visa, mastercard now? Shouldn’t they stop working with roblox?
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).
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.
But is roblox facilitating and monetizing sexual predation?
Definitely. They could do something about this but they would make less profit.
They have said clearly that they care more about profits than the safety of the real people, even childen, playing their game.
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.
