    Of course you do. That “think of the children!” is only narrative you’d use to advance that agenda of yours, which usually involve eroding civil liberty.

    Lordy, I hate sensationalized editorial headlines. This is the actual quote.

    Asked by co-host Casey Newton how he thinks about the issue of child predators on his platform, the Roblox CEO said the issue wasn’t just a “problem, but an opportunity as well.”

    This is standard corpo/PR speak when addressing an issue, you refer to it as an “opportunity”, there’s an implied “to solve/address”.

    An opportunity it’s, like Dexter? But instead of murdering murderers he rapes child rapists?
