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.

I have a kid who thinks roblox.. I'm sorry, who knows roblox is slop because I taught him about it and he's seen poor behavior from friends from playing it.

It should be a combo of both individual patenting and regulations. Ideally

This requires a technological literacy level we cannot assume everybody has, tho. And the issue is that those pedo fucks are as smart as they are evil. They share books on how to groom and abuse kids. It's is fucking wild.
