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.

Set parental controls

This is what they are suing about.

Don't sign away the rights of other adults

What rights do you think are being "signed away" in this lawsuit about Roblox not providing functional parental controls and moderation?

I think there is a fundamental misunderstanding of what is actually happening here.

Because those parents are pushing for age verification stuff, that has already been confirmed by hackers to be sent straight to the DOJ and ICE to make a database and link people's internet profiles to their real names. With possibly the intention to either arrest people for criticizing ICE, or deporting people they DEEM to be illegals.

...And I can't read further because I don't have an X account. And the source is "hackers".
