I'm not so sure about this, and I'm not paying to read the rest of the article.
I'm not saying that there aren't predators on Roblox, but is it Roblox's responsibility to teach kids not to talk to strangers?
The part I could read mentioned that they took the conversation to another platform before meeting. Is anyone suing THAT platform? If that's where they made the plans to meet, wouldn't they be more responsible?
I have no love for Roblox, but I don't think they caused this, unless there are other wild details I missed.
I dunno. I think as a platform that heavily markets to kids, they have a responsibility to ensure that those kids aren't preyed upon on their platform. If you took a child to a live action Bluey play, you'd be expected to keep an eye on your child, but you'd also have a reasonable expectation that the event holders have taken some measures as hosts to keep the kids safe from a variety of hazards including suspicious adults.
I agree completely.
Did Roblox do anything "unreasonably unsafe?"
If they were selling a monthly PedoPass that gave someone access to the names and addresses of underage members, of course we should shut that shit down, but nearly every other online game has chat options. What makes Roblox less safe than those?
I think there's a scenario where they had sufficient enough measures in place, but I guess that will be shown through the lawsuit.
