The County of Los Angeles filed suit today against social media gaming platform Roblox alleging that the platform failed to protect children from predatory behavior. The lawsuit alleges that while Roblox markets itself as a safe digital space for creativity, it is in reality an unsafe online environment that has become a breeding ground for predators.
As someone without kid, this is too easy of a defense. And if you truly think about it for more than 5 minutes, or watch any documentary on how pedophiles operate, you’d realize.
I have a kid who thinks roblox… I’m sorry, who knows roblox is slop because I taught him about it and he’s seen poor behavior from friends from playing it.
It should be a combo of both individual patenting and regulations. Ideally
This requires a technological literacy level we cannot assume everybody has, tho. And the issue is that those pedo fucks are as smart as they are evil. They share books on how to groom and abuse kids. It’s is fucking wild.
That would require them to actually think at all, it makes much more sense to expect the parent to monitor the child’s activity constantly and never let them do anything on the Internet unsupervised. They will also then complain years later about helicopter parents not giving them any freedom
