This is the actual excuse Roblox used when confronted with actual evidence of child sex trafficking originating on their platform, at the same time balking at implementing age gates and chat restrictions. So of course they caved and implemented age gates and chat restrictions when their "central bank" (a.k.a. concerned parents) learned about Roblox's "issues" from YouTube exposés and other concerned parents.

It doesn't matter that the illegal shit happens off-platform. It is not a good look to be the top of the funnel for traffickers, which is why they put in these invasive restrictions.

If you don't like it, then invest in "creating experiences" for platforms which don't target children. Because asking "what is Roblox supposed to do about their pedo problem" didn't and will never work to placate the people who actually fund the platform.

This doesn’t really make sense though. If half of all American children are on your platform of course that’s a prime target. That’s a volume issue, not something inherent to the platform.

I’m going to guess those numbers are still far lower than the number of times kids get messed up by a trusted adult.

Parents haven't changed their behavior and the age gating is there now and the activity on Discord is still the problem

Not an excuse, not pointing fingers, as a betting man thats the actual answer and any other bet would go to zero, its what happening
