The Roblox Erotic Roleplay Community - "Roblox's ERP problem began in the mid 2010's as a quiet whisper. Over the next decade, this whisper would slowly grow into a blood curdling scream, audible from every corner of the platform."

Should parents be more present generally? Yes.
Should child focused places consider the safety of children? Also yes.
Should we relentlessly persue ridding the globe of pedos? Hell yes.

How is it that hard?
 
I know I'm a thread tourist, but things like this make me Mad At The Internet. These fuckers allow, if not actively encourage, the sexual grooming and exploitation of children, sue you into the ground for noticing, and get little more than a slap on the wrist if/when they face consequences. Meanwhile, Null is blacklisted by financial services and forced to live abroad for the crimes of calling a nigger a nigger and allowing people to criticize transsexuals.

In a perfect world, these pedophile shits would be watching their dicks get eaten by fire ants, while Null is advising Trump on how to make the Internet a freer, better place.

How exactly would ID requirement laws prevent kids from being groomed on Roblox?

They wouldn't, they would just create another market for identity fraud for pedos to participate under a false ID.
I fully expect the "professional" child molester who also extort images and videos from minors to resell on dark web sites to already be doing exactly this anyway.

You won't catch the real problem users, they will just hide behind various proxies, VPN and use false IDs. They are already part of the black market eco system, they know where to get that stuff.

The only way effectively prevent people luring minors off platform for ERP is to enforce the already existing laws properly and make it in the company's best interest to invest the money and effort to protect the kids through chat screening, AI supported keyword alerts, human moderator backup to double check conversations and word use to establish if a ERP situation might be happening and to prevent guiding users off-site.

Or if the current laws are not specific enough in regards to online spaces, then they need to be changed to contain paragraphs that cover the current topic in particular. If the existing laws cannot be adapted to properly apply to online spaces then a new federal law needs to be created that closes that gap.

Regardless if it can be done with applying old laws properly, adapting them or creating a new one, the ID verification is not how you protect kids, especially if the moderators are part of the problem. That would be like making the local pool "kids only", only for the kids to get raped by the lifeguard.

[EDIT] Companies allowing minors on their platform need to be made mandatory reporters with all the consequences that come with non-reports.
 
Thinking that Roblox getting punished for being a pedo game necessitates ID verification is like thinking that you need games to be open-source in order for people to play it after official servers shut down. If you want the non-governmental option to protect kids, look at India and see how kids are extorted by transvestites by threatening to chop kids cocks off. If kids are going to use the internet we need some government overreach

It would be such an inconsequential expense to have a team that exclusively handles fulfilling mandatory reports for large volumes. I feel like they might not even have to invest much in having actual moderators actively poking around in the game all shift if they just took tickets seriously and would do the simple due diligence of filling out a report form. I think it's something to consider for big platforms that are marketed for children.
 
Realistically, would be incorrect to think that if Shit really goes actionably south for Roblox ie they start losing litigation, what's left for Roblox's future? Something like Second Life? Was watching Asmongold explore the game and it very much so reminded me of it and am wondering if others have noticed this?

They shut down, the IP is bought by Tencent and then they run pedo friendly server from China, but they are only open for kids from Western Countries.
 
If only Blockland had been the more successful game... Say what you will about Badspot, but at least he's not a child rapist like David Baszucki.

Especially since people like Ruben and Schlep are already doing the job for them. All they need to do is hit the ban button on the pedophiles and their ERP groups/games. But I guess they thought sending C&Ds to people trying to fix your shit is a better idea.

MeepCity was my first exposure to these degenerates. It was at one time the biggest Roblox game because it was similar to ClubPenguin but it was basically an ODer/Sex Party game because the owner, AlexNewtron, did nothing to stop it because he's a furfag who jacks off to Fat Blue Pregnant Yoshis covered in blood.

This just leads to those fucking annoying ID verification laws that are happening right now. Parents need to have consequences for letting their children access the Internet unfettered instead. If a parent neglects their child and allows them to do drugs or drink or abuses the kid, they lose their parental rights. Same shit should happen for neglecting to keep the kids in some sort of safeguard online.

Like I believe Ruben Sim said, the industry is going to have to figure out how to police itself or the government is going to step in and nobody is going to like the results. In fact, the government already is stepping in, and while it hasn't yet started being overreaching (what Louisiana is suing about is a blatant violation of already established laws), it will, especially if it increasingly becomes a public scandal.

How the fuck do these morons still not understand Streisand Effect to this day?

I mean this has been an adage since what in Internet terms is the fucking Paleolithic period.

You cannot even logically explain how my argument that companies and the people working there have to be held liable for failures to protect children would lead to ID laws.

Roblox is in a way worse position than any other services other than maybe plebbit and Telegram and TikTok. Most platforms like this obviously have some problems but the worst they're guilty of is benign neglect, where they simply do a poor job of protecting public safety. This is negligence. It's civil lawsuit material.

I honestly think what Roblox has been doing has crossed over the line into outright criminality and acting as an accessory to the crimes. They have gone beyond doing a bad job or even deliberately turning a blind eye into outright assisting the sex predators.

I can't imagine how you could get more blatant than literally having a "dating" service for adults and minors. I mean on what the fuck planet is that remotely acceptable?

You're complaining about Digital IDs when this has nothing to do with the ID problem.

He may be doomposting but it's not about nothing. This kind of bullshit WILL result in ID laws (and already is in some cases). That obviously does not mean Roblox doesn't deserve to be eviscerated, but it is going to attract the kind of censorious minded people who WILL use it as an excuse to do other things.

That's why I hope Louisiana, New Jersey, and any other state that goes after bullshit like this with sixguns blazing, enforcing already existing law, has the greatest of success and decapitates these motherfuckers.

Bring back LAN parties or the equivalent over the Internet, with your kids only playing with people you'd allow them to play with in real life.

this is exactly the kind of task that LLMs are actually good for. you have LLMs scanning for POTENTIAL problems, they forward those potential problem messages to humans, and the human team reviews it. it's such an easy thing to do now that the fact that roblox hasn't already done it is evidence of non-interest in protecting the children they draw into their game. to get the average person to notice, all you really have to do is point it out. as people like asmongold, schlep, and anyone who tries at all have shown, you can find nearly-pornographic content within seconds and all it takes is a quick trip to the top content page.

it's really sickening if you let it simmer for too long, so i try not to.

this is exactly what happened in the 90s with the ESRB, and it actually worked out quite well. the esrb does exactly what it's meant to.
 
I don't have a roblox account so I can't confirm the effectiveness of any of this but how good are Roblox's parental controls because they apparently do have them. (Parental Pedoblox Pedoblocker) In it I am reading that parents can manage screen time, connection list, content maturity, monthly spending limits, spending notifications, and chat limits.

There's a reason I am asking at how effective any of these are because so far this further strengthens my argument that parents have some blame in this. Yes I am fully aware you can't be there 24/7 (cause I know someone is gonna say try to act like I said such a thing) but again many of these platforms have parental controls.

Now this DOES NOT absolve roblox of any responsibility because from the outset I have said that roblox also has fault here along with the pedophiles on the platform. So far this is telling me a couple of things.

Roblox lets this shit happen and actively defends pedophiles on their platform which is a problem in of itself. They are doing this on purpose and they know it.
The predators on roblox do need to be rounded up and convicted.
The lawsuits were apparently a long time coming and roblox is getting everything they deserve and nothing they want.
Parents are fucking stupid when it comes to technology. Learn some shit, learn what parental controls are, use them. Give me all the MATI you want, the point still stands that parents NEED AND SHOULD be using parental controls on any internet platform they decide to allow their child on. Nintendo has them, Sony has them, Xbox has them, etc. Though the difference is other platforms aren't actively defending child predators which is where roblox deserves to meet their demise.
