What part of that is true for kids who do "child labor" on Roblox?
- burkaman 3y agoI have no idea, I don't know anything about Roblox. It's possible some kids are spending so much time making content to sell on the platform that it interferes with their schooling. It's a bit beside the point though - "child labor" is a term that the Roblox CEO brought into this discussion to defend himself, possibly because he knows it's too strong a term that doesn't really apply here. As far as I can tell the major critics used the much broader term "exploitation" (https://www.eurogamer.net/roblox-exploiting-young-game-developers-new-investigation-reports https://www.eurogamer.net/roblox-exploiting-young-game-devel...), and obviously there are many ways to exploit children that aren't child labor. The main accusation is not that they use child labor, but that they entice very young kids into making content for the game with the promise of money, but almost none of them are successful enough to actually get paid.
