Roblox would rather spend its money towards legal and PR coverups than actually fix the problem at hand. They keep saying everything is fine. But if everything was fine, then why are there more and more people speaking up about these groomings and inappropriate content & items. The fact that Roblox denies that this is a systemic issue proves that they don’t care about its users.

Ive been playing roblox for roughly 6 years now, and heres what I suggest for parents 1. If your kid is under 8, don't let them play. As simple as that. 2. If your child isnt playing on Windows or Mac, dont let them use the excuse that its educational. The only was to script/code in Roblox is on Macbooks and Windows. 3. Dont buy your kids Robux. Just dont. 4. Make sure your kid is not on Discord, thats were groomers will lure kids from Roblox to be freaks. 5. Set your kids account age to their actual age so that they have age restrictions 6. Monitor your kids use occasionally

while the internet wasn't made for children, roblox was and is advertised as a kids game. a kids game that allows anyone to join their platform (including thirsty groomers) roblox keeps claiming that they take this seriously, yet roblox has less moderators for a MAJORITY of stuff compared to tiktok's moderators. roblox denies responsibility when they are responsible. it's as simple as that.

Yea, but the problem persist. The fact here is that, regardless of the other platforms, which it’s not important if there or there aren’t predators there too, moderation is too ineffective in Roblox because they prefer lying about safety than spend money for user security. Child teaching is NOT an easy task and being a parent has always been difficult. Every kid is grown their own way, differently from the others and trust me when I tell you that just telling them to not trust strangers is never enough because they don’t know what trust truly mean in general.

Its why during the 80s, missing children were popping up left and right because parents were so oblivious to the concept of being aware where your child was at the time that TVs had to remind parents at a certain time to see where their kids were. We need parents to keep reminding themselves that this is like dropping off your kids at the mall to "hang out"

Also after the lawsuit and the truth relating to Ruben has been revealed, Roblox's stock price tanked 60% from their all time high and they have yet to recover. Their stock is close to becoming a penny stock.

When I was around 10 years old (8 years ago) there was an exploiter with a disgusting script that does.. y’know and targeted me. I didn’t even know what adult things were at the time so I didn’t understand what was happening on my screen. One of the many reasons I do not make my avatar female anymore in any online game

Kids should not have access to the internet, full stop. No amount of moderation is going to completely fix the problem, and the risk is too great.

Yes; but only for robux. The DevEx system converts sums like 100,000 robux-which would cost $800 when purchasing-to $350. This means the developer, in turn, makes 30.625% of the original. They forgot to mention that, but they were not wrong.

I used to play Roblox between 2008 and 2012. Back then it was nothing like this at all. just a fun and exciting platform with a whole bunch of new and exciting games and tools, something that hadn’t really been done before at the time. It felt nice and welcoming, and there wasn’t too much social stuff so I felt safe using it. I haven’t really touched it since about 2013, honestly I forgot it even existed until last year when it seemingly blew up. And honestly, seeing where it is now and what it’s turned into just scares and sickens me. Parents, seriously, don’t let your kid near this.

Governments should require that companies have safety monitors in their social platforms. If their not willing to comply with age verification because like any greedy money hunger machine does, they should be liable for under age harmful exposure.

The rule of taking action against users who bully harrass and discriminate others off platform is not enforced, a friend of mine who is a roblox developer was mass harassed, bullied and attack by another community on roblox, it was reported using the digital services act in the european union but it was denied because it happened "off platform" despite there being more than enough evidence and telling them about the rule where the owners are responsible for their own community based off what they tell them to do.

Criticizing Roblox and making the knowledge of this issue mainstream is the only way for things to change; the stock price of Roblox has to dip eventually, which will anger the shareholders and force them to take more action into restructuring the company. The moderation team is heavily understaffed and many moderators lack training in distinguishing threats. I hope that this video will set off a chain of events, and more news entities will cover this.

What upsets me about this it’s so easy to find these games and they get massed reported but they don’t get banned and they’re sometimes even promoted by Roblox them selfs I quite literally got recommended “sus bathroom game❤❤❤” yesterday and I don’t even play hangouts not to mention I’ve seen several times of people asking other people for their age only to see the other person say they’re underage And Roblox has done little to nothing and also seems they don’t do any background checks before hiring employees because an employee was recently exposed for this type of stuff
