Embarrassing. My account is 13 years old, is that enough evidence?
It's so the devs can better identify impressionable youngsters.
>>107799708So a 9 year old can talk to a random 16 year old on that platform but not their own adult parents? lol
>>107799708I imagine they were being threatened with litigation. The CEO of this company, when asked whether it’d be a good idea to add betting and gambling into Roblox, said yes. He’s an utter scum sucking piece of shit who would probably run a subscription service for pedos to serve them up the most vulnerable children if he thought he could get away with it.
>>107799708Now pedophiles have a way to target specific ages without being observed by older people.
>>107799708Why are you people trying to talk to to little small children in roblox at all?
>>107802245>NOOOOOO YOU CAN'T IMPART KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM TO THE YOUTH LIKE OUR FOREFATHERS DID>CHILDREN CAN ONLY INTERACT WITH OTHER CHILDREN AND (((APPROVED ADULTS))) LIKE PARENTS/TEACHERS/INFLUENCERS/ADVERTISERSAnd then they wonder why the kids are so fucked up.
>>107799708It's like nutrition labels for pedo groomers, now they know what they're getting
>>107802201It's not his fault zoomers are retarded
>>107802944>IMPART KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM TO THE YOUTHThe knowledge of flirting with prepubescent children on videogames
>>107799708Why can't parents just do their jobs and raise their children properly? Why do governments and corporations have to come in and raise their children for them?
i identify as a 10 year old i. am never giving my ito anyone that isnt my employer, dmv or doctor
>>107799708>16-17>can only chat 13-20that's dumb, I get restricting young users but 15+ should be allowed to chat without an age limitI met my gf when she was 17 online (not in roblox) but I'm 21+
I find it funny that we're moving more and more into an age segregated world. Soon enough kids will not be allowed to interact at all with anyone that's 3 years older than them that isn't a family member. And people will applaud it.And then they will wonder why our society becomes so fucked up when the only role models kids have are the messed up parents that want these things.
>>107805041The end game is clear: total control. AI will accelerate the free internet collapse as we know it and they will implement facial scans/digital IDs for verification, they would probably go further and tie it to your digital government ID where you will need to provide your phone number, personal details, address, banking info, current residence, they will enable random checks mid-game where you would need to stand up and do physical actions on camera to confirm you're not AI/pedo and that all data matches. It looks pretty grim, too bad the normgroids will gobble this shit up and hail it as the effective pedo prevention measures.
It's interesting watching this dystopian bullshit make it's way everywhere even without the digital ID being in the law.This gets people used to it and then eventually retards will say>Might as well vote it through.>We already have age verification through real ID and facial scan and nothing bad happened.What a shitshow.This kind of categorization is also going to accelerate the growing craziness regarding age difference dating.>Oh my god that 19 year old is dating a 17 year old, kill him!>>107805255This centrally planned coddled idiocracy is going to lead to a total destruction of everything, through people becoming so fucking insane and mentally unstable it just falls apart.There's no way in hell any of this is going to stay intact once the boomers are gone and Gen X has reached retirement age.And it's a good thing. The overreach of these systems pushing for a global panopticon to protect the ones at the top, is going to bring an end to the dystopian nonsense through a massive competency crisis and the general dysfunction of populations.
>>107805719The pedo hysteria is the most overblown schizo shit I've ever seen in my life. It feels like what the Salem witch hunts must have been like in the 17th century. Even in this thread I know people will respond to me like I'm the crazy one for not falling for their paranoid schizo narrative that pedophiles are hiding around every corner waiting to rape and murder their children.
>>107805879The irony is that the world is controlled by pedophiles.
>>107799708So they want a facial scan of my child? No thanks.
>>107805879This is the one issue I can think of where EVERYBODY IS FUCKING INSANE!>Let's censor everything to protect the kids!>Let's make everything worse because parents won't parent!
>>107799708That 13-21 group is sus. You just know this company was made for and by pdfs. They need to be investigated.
>>107799735they don't care about your age, they want your face
I want some stats honestly bc the demoralization is tiring.The reason they can push this is because supporters as few as they may be are well organized meanwhile any opposition is anything but.I want to know how many more will refuse digital ID until held at gunpoint.I'm sick and fucking tired of even in technical and niche communities/people that should understand privacy to a better degree that I constantly need to explain myself and everyone acts like I'm weird, sharing ANY IRL data online is the highest tier of mental illness I'll never stand for.Discord - don't use ai surveillance service and it doesn't work on vpn and without phone, its shit anyways"Why do you 24/7 bully phone posters, youre annoying!" Do I need extra reasons to call out people normalizing being retarded enough to own a google surveillance advertising device?No I can't buy this cool cheap shit unless its sold in my country as I do not do any digital payments (that require personal info and registration) yes I'm for real, I've been boycotting visa/MC way before it became cool.No I can't watch that trailer without a google account which I can't have anymore without a phone + it needs ID verification bow too.Doesn't load on VPN/tor/unlock its malware IDC.
>>107799708Is it me or does that list make absolutely zero sense?Because it's asserting two different things that negate each other at the same time.
not my problem
>>107799708This is what happens when you upset the faggot crowd.They will genuinely keep bitching until they get what they want.
>>107799708/g/ tip: just dont login to the app, you will get age verify locked. happened to methey wont do it for accounts that only use desktop since they mostly dont have a camera
>>107810199I'll refuse the digital ID even when held at gunpoint, anon. At that point, I'd rather not live in this world anymore. Same with mandatory wearable tech for "insurance" etc. Just kill me, fuck it I've had a good run.
>>107810432why do you have the roblox app on your phone
>>107810400Link pls

>>107799708> Facial Age Estimation are deleted immediately after they’ve been securely processedSecure processing will take anywhere between 1-10 years, comparing successive scans.Unless there’s a bug, where it’s copied into a /tmp directory for “training” or “testing” purposes.How much storage will I need to hold all the facial scans when they inevitably get leaked?
>>107810432> appImagine running an app on your phone in 2026. LOL!> gee, why does it need access to GPS, my camera, microphone, and entire contact list, with cellular data?
>>107810199>sharing ANY IRL data online is the highest tier of mental illness I'll never stand for.What a boring life
>>107799708>Requirement for an ID to use the internet will be herald in by a fucking lego game whose primary userbase is noncesGotta give it to the yids on this one, that's pretty crafty. Also, you must be +18 to browse 4chan.>>107802201The CEO is a dumb nigger, he could've solved most of the platform's issues with nonces by rangebanning the third world. >>107805255It's self inflicted too. Some poor fag (22) got his ass kicked/ambushed by a group of teens when he went to a uni to meet up with a 19 year old.

>>107799708Reminder that this shit started because of literally fake news. A group of researchers were trying to "prove" that there were people grooming minors in Roblox, and their "proof" was that every time they were nearby one of the chats with forbidden words they were kicked out of the chat, which proved that the filters were correctly ending all inappropriate chats. It should make everyone think how it was possible that they were again and again in the middle of one of those conversations, almost like if they were completely fabricated. But they presented it as if they were being censored so nobody would see what they were finding, and all media bought their versions because both parties completely agree on this digital id surveillance thing. The experiment was a huge success.Now, if they managed to do this with literally fake news, imagine what they can convince people of now, after thousands of pajeets filled the mentions tab of every xitter user with pictures of their daughters in underwear. If all those retards thought this was a good idea only because on a baseless rumor, imagine what they'll accept after seeing seepee of their own daughters. Thank you so much, Jewlon.
>>107799735If have a bridge for sale if you think this has anything to do with age verification.
>>107805041the parents are trying to do their job against the corpos through the goverment they pay taxes to, but said government does not work for them anymore but for the same shareholders that want to groom (and worse) their children
>>107799708>>Images and video used for Facial Age Estimation are deleted immediately after they’ve been securely processed.who reads this shit and thinks its real?
>anon, must fight for pedos right to corrupt kids
