I'm confused, is the age verification to keep young people out or the groomers out? Who'd use Roblox legitimately if not for the underage? Its pretty terrible.

- Bender 5mo agoThat's a great question. I honestly do not know nor do I know if they would share such granular details. I suppose we would have to wait for a hacktivist to share such information.
- hedora 5mo agoIt sounds like (from the earnings report) they now have four classes of users: - Identity verified adults - Identity verified kids - Anonymous adults - Anonymous kids The last three groups are in a “degraded” mode, I think. I imagine a large fraction of groomers do not want to tie their activities to real world identities, so they’re mostly group 3. A different reading is that, if a groomer can trick the face scan into “under 13” mode (putting them in group 2), then the game opens up chat for them, but just with kids. I’m not sure which it is. I’d happily pay $50 one time for a copy of the game that includes parental controls and does not include anonymous contact with random strangers (including sketchy content creators), but they don’t offer this as a product.
