    Roblox

    So your sister actively consents to her son being on a platform riddled with pedophiles and expects you to be complicit as well.

    You where nice, I would have told her she was a terrible parent, why, and then ask her to leave. I’ve become no-contact with toxic family over issues before, and I’ll do it again.

      It’s trivial to prevent them from being able to chat with anyone else in roblox and if they’re under 13 it’s set to that by default. As far as I’m aware the main thing these pedophiles do is try to get your kid over to discord where they can get and send photos and videos. Just letting your kid play roblox doesn’t automatically make you a terrible parent.

    This raises an interesting issue: Should house guests expect to be given Wi-Fi access? I’ve personally never even asked for Wi-Fi when I go over to someone else’s house because frankly I don’t trust their network. I don’t know what “smart devices” are port scanning every other device or collecting MAC addresses, I don’t know if they’ve ever updated their router firmware and if it’s been infected by the numerous malware automatically scanning the internet for unpatched routers. Not worth it, I’d rather use mobile data or not access the internet until I go home. Also I don’t want Google or Cloudflare to know who my friends are and where they live by having my browser fingerprint show up on their IP.

      Guest Wi-Fi is common for that reason. I’ve got guest Wi-Fi set up so that guests can access the internet but they can’t access my LAN.

      My guests get WiFi access to the internet when they ask. What they don’t get is WiFi access to our home systems network. When they don’t ask, I assume they’re just fine paying for their own cellular data.

      I think most people would expect it, but only if you offer. Depends how expensive mobile data is where you live and if they can afford it…

      If someone offered it to you it’d probably be polite to just say no thanks and not bother to explain why their network probably isn’t secure 😅
