Discord and Roblox exempted. This is a joke.
- robryan 10mo agoTo include discord you have to extend it to messaging services. To include Roblox it should be all online games with chat.

- morshu9001 10mo agoWhen I was a kid, online games with chat were a no-no. Most of the ones designed for kids specifically avoided having a chat feature aside from preset phrases, like Toon Town. Then of course by teens, most boys were in the notorious MW2 lobbies.
- rpmisms 10mo agoOk that's fine. These two platforms are where kids are being groomed.
- Joel_Mckay 10mo agoAbsolutely, Roblox should not exist given the problems it caused. Goes well beyond scamming kids to work for scrip. =3
- daedrdev 10mo agoDespite how little they pay their game devs, offering like 20% I think, Roblox itself continues to make a loss so there case that they are scamming their devlopers isn't the strongest
- poly2it 10mo agoRoblox is making a loss? How is this possible? I've always thought it was perfectly maximined.

- daedrdev 10mo agoMost their users are don’t pay, their services are all hosted by themselves, development of tooling for games and the platform itself is costly, legal issues, etc.
- Joel_Mckay 10mo agoMust be awkward discussing how "AI" is supposed to solve the Roblox "problems". GTFO, no kid under 16 should be on that platform unsupervised. The feds should have section 7 that firm years ago. =3
- daedrdev 10mo agoRoblox is hiring unlike other companies trying to replace everyone with ai.
- Joel_Mckay 10mo agoYou didn't understand why "problems" was in quotes. I refuse to explain that to you, as you are likely still a kid. =3
- daedrdev 10mo agoI am not a kid and have a job =3 Just say what you mean already. It’s not somehow better discussion when you hide your point behind layers of misdirection.
- Joel_Mckay 10mo ago"A chapter 7 bankruptcy terminates the company's operations and takes the company completely out of business." It is essentially a judges forced death-sentence for a corporation. An appropriate solution given Roblox manipulative behavior targeting kids, and a pattern of administrative negligence on the platform. Spend 5 minutes searching, and the history of the platform "problems" is trivially exposed. Kids <16 should not be on there unsupervised, and there are lots of other better-quality games around people can play that offer far less "problems". =3
- barbazoo 10mo ago> This only protects 90% (made up number) of children so it's a joke.
- akersten 10mo agoTo suggest this protects children at all is the real joke.
- barbazoo 10mo agoAre you saying there is no harm to children, especially girls using social media or are you saying it will not protect enough of them?
- akersten 10mo agoCorrect, in fact I strongly assert the benefit of being able to communicate with a global audience and participate early in the information economy far outweighs any alleged and poorly-articulated harm from the same.
- justatdotin 10mo ago'participate early in the information economy' is one way of putting it
- bryanlarsen 10mo agoExempting what in my experience are the places where children are the most likely to interact with strangers make it a joke.
- Gigachad 10mo agoDiscord is voluntarily doing age checks to access NSFW servers now.
