Roblox needs to be burned down for the situations they knowingly put kids into to be honest

FFS I’m showing my age here but Webkinz had a strict locked down, easily revocable parental opt-in requirement for anything resembling typed chat, and the default was a drop-down menu of innocuous stuff that meant nobody could exchange information to go onto other platforms. Roblox could do something like that but shoving data vulnerability onto parents and kids is a sleazy cop out.

Platforms that advertise openness to kids should be held to stricter standards, for sure.
