I think caregivers and children should definitely sit down and talk about it. Roblox is, for many reasons a predatory company. Just like most capitalists they don’t actually care about people, especially children. This has been shown not only in their lacklustre response to paedophiles, but also in their use of child labour to make them richer. Which they then do not compensate the children for fairly.
Agreed, that might help, I really really want Roblox gone, or controlled by those that actual utilise it for it’s allegedly intended purpose. The youth do need places online where they can be safe until what I talked above is implemented, sadly it seems nothing commercial is actually the way to do it, given the repeated reports of poor mental health, predatory behaviour etc coming from so called ‘child spaces’ on commercial platforms.
Yes. It’s a symptom of paedophile culture, which is based on patriarchy, toxic masculinity, racism, beauty standards, and rape culture etc.
Edit: And that children are largely seen as property, or not people by a lot of ‘adults’, especially in the US as they never ratified the UN’s convention on the rights of the child.
This isn’t the only way to help, but a big one would be giving children freedom, rights etc as laid out by the Youth Liberation movement. The more children are controlled and have no say, aren’t taught how to have boundaries and to consent or not, and don’t have those boundaries and (lack of) consent respected, and aren’t taught what sex is etc the more they will fall victims to these predators.
Of course there is more that needs to be done, but it is a good start.
Children are people, it’s time we started treating them like it.
That’s a good question though. What happens if a right’s holder dies and doesn’t transfer the rights to others? Are the rights then public domain or what?
Either Mastercard and Visa already agreed with them and just needed to be pointed in the right direction and needed an excuse OR direct action actually works by being persistent and annoying enough.
