It's likely less dangerous on aggregate than an AOL chatroom or the Catholic church. I'm certainly sorry for your horrific experiences and I am all for vastly stronger regulations for anything marketed to children. But abandoning an entire ecosystem because it can be used for evil ends is just not a sustainable approach to life. We'd be left with nothing.
Maybe Roblox is a unique and exceptional evil that requires a more severe solution? But more likely, it's just one of a thousand realms where kids might encounter danger, but usually do not.
- mmazing 4y agoI've played many many hours of Roblox with my nephew, and I've yet to encounter anything close to what this article is talking about. I rarely talk in that game, so I'm essentially indistinguishable from a child to any predators. I've heard plenty of inappropriate language (almost exclusively simple cursing), but that's about it. I don't want to discount the content of this article, but I agree that it's more likely "just one of a thousand realms where kids might encounter danger, but usually do not."
