    After a year of evil legislation driven by “protect the children”, I will admit: Yes, this is probably a decent action to protect the children.

    That said, in some ways feels like any online center that attracts children can garner these problems. I’m a little curious; for any parents in the discussion, where should kids spend time online? Especially if they want to have communication with the kids they know, on days when they can’t visit in person.

    Roblox is a massive online scam that preys on children.

      Also a hellhole filled with predators and groomers.

        Telling my young boy 7 or 8 years ago that hes not allowed to play the Adopt-Me Pet Roleplay game, but not really having age-appropriate language to explain it to a 5 year old.

    Dude fuck this platform! It’s insanely addicting and they’re full of shit to say it’s not designed that way! My own kids have issues with this and I have noticed my daughter gets upset if she can’t play or her play gets interrupted. It’s absolutely like an addict, feigning. My wife is starting to agree it’s not healthy nor safe like they claim!
