Not a fucking chance, mates.
Giving the kiddy diddlers your kids pic…
A new era of safety: we blocked it entirely on our home router
“Safety”
The platform absolutely bursting at the seams with predators, with a CEO who knows this is happening but still wants to introducing dating and gambling into the game.
Yeah, nothing fucking safe about this.
God forbid you try to create a platform made for multiple age groups. Like mustache twirling evil 🙄.
You’re fucking disgusting
How many age groups are children a part of?
Oh, you’re also including the predators too, my bad.
Wat?
Why the hell would anybody ever want to be on a platform for children? Why would any parent allow their kids on a platform for adults?
Almost like kids grow up and have tastes change. Parents can easily join in.
I say this is worse than the Discord shit bc now all kids gotta scan their faces just to chat… I don’t like it (Roblox) alteady but fuck no am I letting my kids do it!
Edit: what’s to stop a pedo from using any online image, or even their own kid to then chat up other kids once verified?!
Apparently images alone don’t work. It has to be a video following a very specific set of instructions (looking to one side, then to the other, then straight ahead - or something like that).
But your point still stands. Apparently a lot of kids are getting around this by using AI generated videos, or having a parent do it for them, or just drawing giving facial hair onto themselves.
Yes, it’s definitely worse than Discord. Discord without age verification is still mostly usable. Roblox without it isn’t.
The silver lining for me is that my kids have basically abandoned the platform now. I told them I’m not sending their IDs in because there’s such a huge risk of a data breach.
They’re using that to make a 3d biometric facial model.
Absolute privacy nightmare.
Gmod models can fool it… It’s really dumb lol
Maybe they shouldn’t be chatting there, and this is a good deterrent. And if we can say parents are the solution, then are they not again the solution here? They should keep their kids away from facial recognition, and away from online spaces that don’t know their customers.
Right after Discord.
The internet is healing
While we could do without Roblox and Discord, the bigger picture is that the internet is becoming a surveillance panopticon.
unfortunately after facebook was invented and people started using their real names on the internet, then the internet and real life started to merge together I feel this is a natural end state
it was fun while it lasted
Good thing the Fediverse and Matrix exist, then.
