"21 and up ID verified opted-in" This would be reassuring if Roblox's ID verification process wasn't so easy to bypass. You only have to upload a picture of the ID itself so a lot of kids bypass ID restrictions by using their parents/siblings/friends IDs. Selfie verification would solve this problem but Roblox wants as little friction as possible in the process.
Indeed don't itLOL, THAT'S EVEN WORSE

Ruben's Law really does remain undefeated
The very last thing you want to do when you are severely depressed and isolated from the rest of society is to continue to coop yourself up inside the slow-killing comfort of your room, stuck to your device like glue creating parasocial relationships on a platform known for housing pedophiles.
segue
It's clear that Roblox is enabling pedophilia at this point. Why else would they do literally nothing about somebody who is a literal child predator and is sitting in jail for it, but then file a lawsuit against somebody who points out how many predators are on the platform?
wish there was more i could do beyond these videos. I show some of the work i do to parents and theyre horrified, they literally never let their kids touch roblox after. thats how bad they view whats going on
Could it be possible to run ad campaigns about how bad Roblox is, targetedly serving them to parents on platforms like Facebook, or more parenting-focused platforms? Some other method of mass-sending out PSAs? Volunteer canvassing campaigns in neighborhoods with large amounts of families in them?
I've talked with some of my family about starting a real life advocacy group. I might see soon if it's actually possible. I know there's a lot of safety programs that go on tv and go to schools giving talks to students and stuff like that. Would love to potentially create something like that and I think the arrests would really help contribute to that. I'd have to do more research but it's getting to a point where these arrests are awesome but they're not really contributing to anything. It's a dime a dozen. The scale has to be larger on a more parental level. I really wanna figure out where I should go next.
TV isn't anywhere close to what it used to be influence-wise, and in-school talks to kids could still end up leaving parents in the dark to the reality of the situation. Any IRL advocacy you do needs to be face-to-face with the parents, as they are the only ones that have both the ability to comprehend and process the severity of what's going on and the willingness to act accordingly.
I agree, I will say I did find it interesting after I went on ABC 30, I had the most amount of parents emailing me and contacting me regarding Roblox than anything I had ever put out previously. I might try sooner or later to expand onto platforms like Facebook to see if i can gain attention from some parents. It's just a very hard demographic to tap into, at least on the scale that it needs to be. Its interesting, most of the kids know about the predator problem surrounding Roblox more than the parents. I'm wanting to do more research into it because I wanna execute it right. I'll def look into those recommendations you posted. Canvassing would be interesting
I've been thinking this for a while, thanks. I genuinely and unironically believe the people at the top of ROBLOX are Pedophiles that benefit from this whole thing. They are doing all of this on purpose and need to be investigated as soon as fucking possible. I fucking hate david baszcucky.
Honestly, anyone who makes reports like this should simultaneously report Roblox to their state's attorney general, or consumer affairs or other relevant agencies. Generally, even nonsensical reports require the AG at least to do some minimal level of investigation, and actively assisting child sex predators may actually constitute a crime or other violation of the law.
Most millennial parents don't want to parent, Netflix and Roblox are easy tools that make their child shut up so mom and dad can watch Netflix on their own television 24/7.
