The headline is misleading. The full quote from the CEO is

My first message would be, if you’re not comfortable, don’t let your kids be on Roblox.

That should just be common sense.

Wow that headline is way more than just misleading, it’s straight up lying through omission. Those are two wildly different statements

With the headline: Interesting, I should read the article.
With the headline corrected: Nothing to see here, move along.

Who else is supposed to be on Roblox … ? Doesn’t really strike me as a popular game with teenagers or adults.

Nazis too. A streamer I watch talked about finding a WWII RP server when she was a kid, only to leave when she realized there was an emphasis on certain parts.

It’s old enough now that kids that grew up playing it are teenagers making content for it

They’re doing a great job getting kids addicted to gambling on that platform.

The Director of Public Policy and U.S. State Strategies at Roblox Corporation once said that creating sexual drawings or 3D renderings of real children is “too attenuated” to be worrisome or illegal.
He also argued in court that it’s okay for states to anally penetrate and otherwise torture children in their care, because protections against cruel and unusual punishment don’t apply to children.
So I’m not sure Roblox is that concerned about child safety.

It’s exclusively used by kids and adults who think they’re still kids.

Oh and predators.
