The County of Los Angeles filed suit today against social media gaming platform Roblox alleging that the platform failed to protect children from predatory behavior. The lawsuit alleges that while Roblox markets itself as a safe digital space for creativity, it is in reality an unsafe online environment that has become a breeding ground for predators.

    Did you not read the Twitter thread? The facial verification is done by OpenAI and shared with Palantir, the DOJ, and ICE. Yes, including Roblox’s. What makes you think the DOJ would NOT try to build a profile on someone going through age verification who’s brown enough to be considered an “illegal” and possibly detain or deport them if they criticize ICE?

      Did you not read the part where I pointed out that it was Roblox who implemented that by choice?

      That this is how Roblox decided to try and avoid lawsuits for catering to predators?

      That these measures, as noted in the suit, do absolutely nothing and are easily defeated?

      That the issue goes far beyond their own decision to implement this form of age verification?

      I have the same question and you still have not answered, youre answering a question that I didnt ask that is unrelated.

      What rights are being signed away by this lawsuit?

      Edit: about/avoid autocorrect shenanigans.

          They did it to avoid suits, which is what I said.

          Suggesting its anything other than avoiding consequences (to their profits) is misleading to the point of maliciousness.
