I mean, an open and seemingly poorly censored market place of assets and “experiences” targetted at children sounds like a recipe for disaster to begin with. Many parents aren’t technologically adept enough to look past the website, seeing it’s marketed at children and going “must be fine”.
This isn’t a defence, but the world gets more and more complicated every day and people are just asked to deal with it… Seems like many governments have just given up trying to regulate anything, and therefore there’s no incentive for trash companies like Roblox to put in any protections.

You should see how excited some kids are about Roblox. I used to work in public schools around like 2017, and even then I met kids who were OBSESSED.
And I think you’re 100% right - parents are responsible for this just as much as Roblox themselves. But the point is that Roblox could absolutely be doing more.
