The County of Los Angeles filed suit today against social media gaming platform Roblox alleging that the platform failed to protect children from predatory behavior. The lawsuit alleges that while Roblox markets itself as a safe digital space for creativity, it is in reality an unsafe online environment that has become a breeding ground for predators.

They can, they just remember what they did when their parents banned something when they were a kid.

Not cross the street alone? Not taking with strangers? Not play with fire?

Resist and find other ways to do the thing... which is literally what kids do.

Do you want your kids to be on Roblox with your knowledge and occasional oversight, or without your knowledge at all, without any parental control?

I crafted wifi and tv antennae out of scraps of metal when my parents confiscated mine, but I don't think that applies here. (And yes, this was a brief golden era when terrestrial analog tv signals and wifi coexisted)

You don't see how that applies? Honestly? It's a helluva lot easier to find a way to play Roblox than it is to make antennae out of scrap metal.

Depends on who you are. It would take me a minute or less to unwind a coat hanger and/or a paperclip, scrap wire etc and rig it up.
