    WHY THE FUCK DOES THE OWNER OF THE CHILDRENS GAME ROBLOX SCRAPE ADULT CONTENT IN THE FIRST PLACE?!

      To block it, or even train a model to block similar content.

      That’s of course not the reason here. But that would be a reasonable reason if it wasn’t done by Roblox.

      I mean for years Roblox had accusations porn stuff they didn’t remove,(or didnt properly remove)
      IIRC Ruben Sim covers about it,and if Roblox/Google tries to silence him you can find his videos on archival sites or reuploads.

    Here’s how the law should deal with it:

    Roblox has 48 hours to delete everything they downloaded, and the models created with them. Failing to comply with so would lead to the police - with optional help from the military - to seize their equipment.
