If this is true, I think I'll talk to my boss tomorrow about getting Roblox banned on our student systems.

  A brief Google suggests the problems aren’t new and are very prevalent.

  I'd suggest watching these to help inform your decision and conversation: Investigation: How Roblox Is Exploiting Young Game Developers -- https://youtu.be/_gXlauRB1EQ https://youtu.be/_gXlauRB1EQ Roblox Pressured Us to Delete Our Video.

  Similar issues have existed on lightly or unmoderated online games since the dawn of time. Would you support banning Minecraft for the same reason? I think games that encourage technical and creative thinking stand to benefit more than they harm. They absolutely require closer parental supervision, though. Moreover, the developers at this company need to crack down on pedos both from without and (according to the article) within.

  Try understanding the scale of Roblox first before thinking of anecdotes as relevant. Unless you're also terrified of cardiologists? [1] [1] https://slatestarcodex.com/2015/09/16/cardiologists-and-chinese-robbers/ https://slatestarcodex.com/2015/09/16/cardiologists-and-chin...

  You might as well ban the internet too. And all phones. While you are at it make them where a gag when traveling between home and school to prevent them from talking to strangers.

    If I prohibit my kids from going down a particularly unsafe street, that doesn't mean I'm against roads and sidewalks. Curious what stake you've got in this that you'd reply with such ridiculous hyperbole.

      It's like banning a whole city because there are unsafe streets within it.
