They're people, but they're not politicians or regulators with the ability to do anything about it.

At a certain point, you need to have a statute that says "thou shalt not offer cybersex and online gambling to children", and you need someone with the statutory authority to charge Roblox with doing so and penalize them after due process. Either we don't have that statute, or the people with the statutory authority don't enforce things like they should.

Roblox didn't put up the content. Some user did. The user should be charged.

		They created the system that allows it. StarCraft had user generated content, but no real gambling because the games ended within an hour or so, and no state was kept. If they want to create a platform for children gambling and facilitate the payments, yes let's figure out how to send them to prison. They're not stupid. They know all of the reasons why they have a $60B market cap. That's 2/3 of Nintendo for making a "free" game.

		That's where people understand Roblox wrong, they do actually manually pick and promote some of these dangerious "games" on their homepage. Which kinda makes it to "their content"

		Right, but it's also the responsibility of Roblox to moderate and avoid those things from happening, especially when their product is both aimed primarily at children with a userbase of mostly children

		Cool then, to post robox content you need to have a verified ID.
