      Companies say a lot of things. Rarely do them. Just like government.

      It’s reached a point where roblox might have to be forced shut down due to repeated failures to protect children on the site

      I have been here myself, and found stuff on my 12 year olds pc in the kitchen and phone, and was convinced to link on another platform by a suspected groomer. Luckily, i found it early.

      We’ll look back on allowing children completely unsupervised internet access like allowing 12 year olds to smoke in the 50s.

      and radicalisation too… and I said this many Christmasses ago.

      I feel pretty lucky that we didn’t have home broadband until i was 17.

      Having full access to the Internet as a child / teen seems like a bad idea.

      Honestly this doesn’t surprise me Roblox looks kid-friendly but it’s basically a massive social platform with no proper age checks, so kids can easily end up chatting with strangers. If your children use it, the simplest move is to sit with them for a few minutes and lock down chat, friend requests and invites; the controls aren’t perfect but they help. Fair play to the Garda cybercrime unit for calling it out, because these companies only seem to act when they’re publicly shamed. Until then, assume these platforms aren’t safe by default, no matter how colourful they look.

      I honestly don’t understand why the platform hasn’t just blocked the ability to chat and send friend requests to people who aren’t age verified, the age should be 16+ to use the chat.

      Also parents if you let your kid on Roblox, you can disable the chat and friend request ability.
