A few pages back someone said "Roblox doesn't even do as much as Facebook or other sites when it comes to moderating their platform." and that's just not true.There is a chance where the fall of Roblox will be used to completely end US internet traffic using the Kid's Online Safety Act draft like in the UK and the EU. That's 70% of the entire world's Internet Traffic by the way. Celebrate the end of a groomer and gooner platform whatever you want, but I have a gut feeling that this is going to be the beginning of a new set of bad news.
Or they simply make Roblox fall into the path of Tumblr.
What a lot of people might have forgotten, is AI didn't come out in 2022 with stable diffusion and ChatGPT, it's been used to classify and moderate content for a decade before that.
Roblox essentially did the same thing YouTube, Facebook, et al. did, they scaled up their userbase by orders of magnitude and tried to make-up the deficit in moderation using AI.
Problem is Roblox has user interaction of a quality those other sites don't. I don't think they're going to roll out an AI that detects if two minifigs are humping each other, or if you built something with blocks kinda in the shape of a wang.
Obviously Roblox is a selfish for-profit corporation that could do way more to protect kids, but realistically it was always the parents job to watch their young children's Internet access. Even if they hired 100 filipinos to hand process user reports, theyve got like a billion users ans you could always find 1000 of them there to groom very easily.
