Ethan Dallas was targeted by an adult sexual predator on Roblox when he was 12, and later on Discord, according to a lawsuit. He took his own life last year.
Game companies shouldn’t have to monitor and supervise children. Each kid already has adults legally responsible for them. It isn’t a g companies job to do someone else’s job for them, nor be financially responsible for criminals or parenting.
A game made for kids should not allow sexually explicit material on their platform. And, in fact, they don’t, this kind of content is very clearly and explicitly against roblox’s content policy but they fail to enforce it.
Parents fail all the time, that’s when the government needs to step in and take action, in this case by making sure kids can safely play the game. And I disagree, Roblox’s entire business revolves around children, they make money off them at every step and they even pay kids to make content for their platform; they should be and they are rightfully being held accountable for what happens on their platform.
