yall like my avatar
>>730299665How about not letting your kid on the internet to begin with
we didn't need this shit for 7th genwhy do zoomers have to ruin everything?
>>730299665>to streamline the grooming process we'll take pictures of your children ourselves
>>730299941and then sell them to isr*el!
>>730299909"protect muh chillunz" is THE single most effective way to psyop retards
>>730299909kys bootlicker
>Take photos of your children for us to avoid pedosWho came up with this shit?
>>730299665Seems overly fucking complicated, why not just separate it by <18 and >18?
>>730299665i played roblox in the 2000s and it looked completely different, they completely raped the game
>>730300196How can Mossad agents groom children into terrorists if they can't pretend to be similar age to them? SOMEBODY needs to do the dirty job of shooting politicians in the neck.
>>730300087Pedos working at Roblox collecting pictures of children.
>>730299665>If you're 13 you can't talk to an eight year old because you might be trying to have sex with them???
>>730299909It's genuinely not the zoomers or the alphies it's the retarded and/or sociopathic millennials and Xers who are actual real predators who kept invading places that kids went to in order to be kids and finding ways to expose them to porn and groom them into further, worse things. There's an entire imageboard that literally has an ongoing general dedicated to this (they call it a fetish known as EPI/Early Porn Introduction), and they coordinate raids here when they're called out and other places they want to try and find more victims. This happened at the same time the Jews at Roblox realized how much of a speculative market their platform was and they want public money, but they're not gonna make that public money while the groomer dens are forming so now they're taking extreme measures to shut them down.
>>730299825yeah, common sense is deadthe internet was nice while it lasted
>>730299665>an 18 y/o can't talk to a 15 y/o
>>730300497You're just gonna have to make do with a 9 year old. That will teach those pedos!
So what's stopping people (read:pedos) from trading/buying age verified accounts to get into their preferred age brackets?
>>730299665This just seems like it makes it super convenient for pedos to target their exact preferred age bracket. Reminder the Roblox CEO wanted to add "17+ dating" to the platform.
>>730300854Nothing lol
>>730300372Literal evil masterminds.
>>730300854It's an effort barrier. The laziest ones will either give up or wait until easy exploits come through. This filters out more and more until they get to the power users who actually instigate most of the alleged problems, which they likely have their own means of identifying. What they do with that, god only knows because Roblox clearly isn't doing a very good job.
>>730300854Nothing unless they force you to scan your face and drink the verification can every month/week/day.
>I'm going to upload my child's face and personal information to some shady megacorp. This will keep little Becky safe from the p***philes. Thanks, corporations! And thanks for enforcing this, government!How many goats do I need to sacrifice so that God comes back and puts all the women back in the kitchen?
>>730300854There are probably many ways to get around it anyway. Anyone who thinks about it for a few seconds can probably come up with a valid way. All this does is get parents off Roblox's ass to implement some kind of age verification. Parents are so retarded that this will probably convince them to continue to let their brats on the internet.
Isn't Roblox just a bunch of player created and run games? So if you're a game admin, you can't communicate with your players if they're underage?
If you want them to turn age verification off so you can talk to kids freely again you're gonna need to find and lynch all the people who do this shit btw. Every single one. If a single one gets through it starts all over and you still will need to send the megacorp pictures of your face.
>>730299665This is basically signaling to hackers that they have a ton of valuable data and images of kid and IDs.Im willing to bet there will eventually for sure be a hack that exposes a bunch of minors info.
>>730301539No, I want parents to stop using the internet as a nanny for their kids
If your game/website/service requires me to upload my face to an Israeli surveillance agency (the western hegemony) I will not use it. Sorry not sorry.
>>730301740Doesn't matter what you want. This is happening because the people who keep shoving porn in kids' faces on Roblox aren't being lynched. If you want to talk to kids without giving the megacorporation a picture of your face, they need to go.
>>730300854nothing stopping them from using an ai generator either
>>730301539They can always join the game's *~Discord~* to chat.
>>730301652Subhumans are already using Grok to edit real photos of children posted to Twitter. Imagine Roblox gets hacked (it will) and photos of your kids spill onto the internet for these subhumans.
Now that I think about it, I've never actually played Pedoblox even though I'm constantly hearing about it.What's the gameplay like?
>>730302091It's like old flash games but in a 3d environmentthere's a lot of misplaced effort, and it's mostly made by exploiting children
>>730302157Okay but you're not telling me what the gameplay is.Is it an RPG? A shooter? What does it play like?
>>730302281bro it's a platform and a game engine, there are literally hundreds of thousands of different games on it.
>>730302281I mean, it's like asking what the gameplay of Kongregate is. It's just a place where people make games. You get a virtual avatar and you're constantly nagged by each of the games to pay them the virtual currency, lots of scams. There's servers for chatting, there's servers for looking for platforming and collectable hunts, I've even seen remakes of games in Roblox and horror themed games too.
One of the better aspects of the internet was the fact that people of all ages could just play video games together.We're moving towards a world now where this is no longer the case, only because parents refuse to give a damn and actually check what their kids are doing.Nanny states and corporations.
>>730302406>>730302435I don't know what Kongregate is but that sound like Second Life.
>>730299825NOOOOOO IT HAS TO BE THE GOVERNMENT THE ONE TO DO IT!! DON'T TELL ME HOW TO RAISE "MY" CHILDREN"""
>>730302503How do you know Second Life but not Kong wtf? Anyway, just imagine if the Unity engine were also an MMO. If you've never experienced a flash game site it's hard to find a better comparison given the amount of slop that you could find on Roblox. There's some quality stuff too but it's like looking for diamonds in a pile of shit. I don't play it, I can't really clarify past that.
>>730302650>How do you know Second Life but not Kong wtf?I dunno. I've never even heard of Kongregate.I remember Second Life from a bunch of articles and videos in the 2000s making fun of it for being full of furries and other sex weirdos.
>>730302503site with a ton of epic flash games dood. it was awesomesauce
>>730299665Cool, hope it comes to all online multiplayer games, if it's not singleplayer or local multiplayer, why bother?
>>730299665welcome to modern internet
>>730301539>up and cuming
>>730301413>>730301539Yeah Roblox is wall-to-wall slop, that's enough reason to ban your kid from it. Let alone that it's swarming with pedophiles and discord sextortionists.
>>730299665>20 can chat with 16what they mean by that
>>730301740You live in a society. All of society has a duty towards children and child-welfare. If you don't like it go be a monk in the desert.
>>730302091>>730302157i.e. slop.>>730302406And all of them slop.
>>730304547>let kid play with a gun>he kills himself with it>"IT'S THE GUN MAKER'S FAULT, HE SHOULD HAVE MADE IT CHILD-SAFE"You deserve to watch your kids get groomed into being trannies
>>730304635yes
>>730304547The parents are the sole responsible for their own children, retard-kun.
pretty sure i've seen tiktoks of people using barbies and toys to circumvent facial scans
>>730300084>pedo collaborationno wonder roblox have dogshit moderation
>>730304873Kek. Pic rel is my favorite.
>>730304642Society does have a duty to protect children from guns. Many laws and practices are aimed exactly at that.
>>730305962>the government needs to tell you to keep your gun in a safe so your child doesn't shoot himself with it>and that's a good thing! do goycattle really?
>>730304805No, all of society has a duty towards all of that society's children. If you don't like it, exit society.
>>730305962Yeah and they do that by keeping kids away from guns, not by making guns "child-safe", you dunderhead.
>>730306132Where is this written? In which constitution?
>>730306070Your language use suggests you're not a serious or intelligent person. Provision of child welfare is a purpose for many laws and social practices, and in all areas child welfare is endangered news laws and practices will be created in a society to remedy them. The internet is part of society, you are part of society, both will be compelled to do so. If that is not to your liking, exit society.
>>730306273Throughout laws and practices. The topic of this thread is a response to laws and governmental pressure. The duty naturally flows from the duty of a person to keep themselves in being, which requires a society to allow the person to remain in being (and to flourish), from there a duty to propagate the being of both the person and society beyond their immediate life into future being beyond death by the means of children. If this is not a duty you wish to partake in, then you are free to exit society and the community of other human beings.
>>730306132Parent your own damn kids.The internet is not your fuckin nanny.
Delphiza on July 7, 2022 | next [–]Roblox is horrendous. It is as dangerous as any dark corner of the Internet, except that it appears child-friendly to parents. It _seems_ to have controls, and _seems_ to restrict bad behaviour, but it does not, and cannot. My daughter was roped into an online paedophile ring when she was 12. The initial contacts and grooming were made through Roblox... almost right under our noses. Every time we, as parents, looked at what she was doing, it seemed okay. We could have dug deeper, but did not. Luckily we caught it before it progressed too far, but some damage was done.Wherever you can, tell parents to flat-out block Roblox.Edit: Because people are asking how it works.Roblox is a lot about bragging rights for individuals. You gain skins, trade for rare items, buy Robux for real money that can be used to buy items. Players flock around those that that have rare or expensive items. My daughter had a "super super happy face". I just googled, and it is current selling for $350. It makes them feel wanted and important. So just like fornite and skins in other games.The groomers feed the celebrity, sense of community and so on to engage in chat. It starts as in-game chat, which you can never see the history of, before moving to DMs. The chat has tricks to get around removed words, so they all communicate in some sort of code that they all pick up along the way. Then they are able to divert them to other platforms where there are fewer controls. My daughter was made to create instagram account and an a porn one. Then they follow up on other platform calls (or phone calls) and follow the usual grooming techniques.The trick is to identify the marks by how they behave in the game, and in the more popular, and social ones, I think that it is quite easy (in retrospect).
>2026>not using Kier Starmer's face for facial ID checkslearn from the bri'ish
>>730299665And why should anyone on /v/ care?Don't fucking tell me you faggots play roblox.I know /v/ has a pretty shitty taste in vidya, but roblox is unexcusable.
>>730299665PARENT YOUR OWN KIDS YOU LAZY FAGGOTS HOLY SHIT. I want laws passed where parents can be charged for child neglect for not monitering their own hellspawns phones and devices. This. Is. Not. On. Everyone. Else. WHO GAVE THEM THE DEVICES? OH RIGHT, YOU! FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
>>730307137nigger we have dandy roblox threads on /v/ every day
>>730307304no we don't, not unless they've been immediately dying and i've just been missing them or somethingwe've got a general on /vm/ and maybe make a /v/ thread once a week if even that
>>730299804Based but trump don't wear ballcaps does he unless it's red?
>>730306715Ah, so bullshit bullshit bullshit and more bullshit
This is a sad day for child predators the world over.
>>730307521Poor Trump...
>>730307521>pedos just need to use AI or a bought account or something to get to chat directly with kids without any adults being able to see and report them, meanwhile normal users are forced to dox themselves or use pisscord just to chatyeah a real sad day for them, i can hear them crying UOOOH right now
>>730302502Honestly the internet has too many people. What was once a place for socially awkward outcasts to get a second chance on life is now a daycare/retirement home/Little India.
>>730307137Why shouldn't we care? This is a new foothold for government presence in video games. It doesn't matter if it's online or not, the rot that's starting here will spread far and wide. Have fun with the stupid mindset that this doesn't matter next time you go to install an AO/M rated game, retard.
>>730307705This is why we need A.I.
>>730302502How did millenials children even survive the old internet without getting raped?
>>730299665Why even have a chat at all? If it's meant to be safe for kids just disable the chat feature for everyone. Roblox doesn't need an "adults only" section.
>>730307203>buy ipad, put parental controls on>give them a child game (roblox, which is clearly for fucking infants)>completely crawling with child predatorsRoblox shouldn't exist. What kind of child rapist puts a fucking chat feature and custom skins and emotes and shit into a game for prepubescent children?
>>730300087The CEO of that company said he wanted to capitalize on the pedophile audience and market the children to them.So yeah this move makes perfect sense. Now he knows which players are actual kids to funnel to them.We'll be seeing the media pick up on the Roblox Files in a couple of years, as soon as the new batch gets too old for them.
>>730308979Millennials were taught to never share your real life information online and that the internet and offline are different. When social media became big it normalized just posting your face, full name, address, phone number, daily routine, favorite things anyone can pretend to like to gain your trust and things you're very easily tricked by. >>730309268Yeah if a place has this big of a child predator problem it should just get shut down not have a bunch of whacky schemes to try and let the predators still use it but they have to super duper promise to stay in their own section.
>>730299665>Images and video used for Facial Age Estimation are deleted immediately after they’ve been securely processed.Haha, you dumb.
>>730309268You could also do the bare minimum of research and give them literally any game other than RobloxBetter yet, don't give your child a screen to rot in front of, give him a ball
>>730309463bruh it's clearly a fucking game for little children, does the parent need to install it and play for 3000 hours to find out if there are any special custom maps that are degenerate bullshit? stop covering for child fuckers
>>730309663>the internet is not for children, don't allow your kid access to it>"y-you're protecting the child predators!"
>>730309463>You could also do the bare minimum of research and give them literally any game other than RobloxBare minimum research just shows it's a kids game for kids. This isn't the same as a kid getting access to GTA Online or whatever. If a platform has this kind of persistent issue it should get shut down but only the smaller platforms do while ones that make a lot of money like roblox, twitter, facebook, etc get away with it.
>>730300854I worked in a bank. Every day was dealing with people falling in the facial scan of the Bank´s app.>People cant read or understand the instructions.>Frontal cameras of phone are garbage and cant capture the face>Frontal cameras are designed for be higher that you eyes and flip horizontally the footage, you facial scan never match you head.
>>730309663stop being a complete piece of shit and parent your cum gremlins properlyit doesn't take 3000 hours to look at what your kids are doing online and realize that your kid shouldn't be online to begin withstop enabling childfuckers by being a retarded deadbeat parent
>>730309998but perhaps also roblox should also stop enabling them
>>730310136>perhaps it is somebody else's fault that I am a terrible parentno
>>730310191nobody said that. are you one of roblox's lawyers? or just a dedicated bootlicker? only way it would make sense you wont accept that the people who run the platform also share SOME responsibility for not letting people groom children on it.
>>730310136Yes, Roblox needs to do something about their predator problemNo, it's not an excuse for you to be a lazy ass. Be a parent to your kids
>>730310136You're trying to argue with a guy who blames the kids parents for letting him fuck their kid. It's 2026, your kid can't even register for a school club without internet access.
I can't believe there are so many retards that think we need more government intervention because they simply can't be bothered to do the due diligence of paying attention to their kid. Fuck you all. I hope the generation that takes care of you in your old age forgets to check up on you.
>>730305757Omg it's the real Dr. Breen. I'm a big fan of your work.
>>730310594>we need more government interventionYeah against corporations you dense motherfucker. You fucking bootlicker retards need to kill yourself and go back to hell. Reptilians pretending to be people like you have ruined everything. If you killed yourself right now it would likely be the only good thing you've ever done in your satanic life. Christ I can't imagine how soulless you'd need to be to actually act like the government being harsher to billion dollar corporations is similar to them coming down on private citizens. Fuck you, fuck your whole family, I hope they spit on your grave you nasty bitch.
>>730299665>be pedo>AI generate an image of a child>can chat with children
I don't see the problem with this at all, I instantly disconnect in arc raiders if my squad fill is a child, I hate children.
>>730300087the same people that are covering up the epstein files.not sure why this is a surprise to anyone.
>>730311786so you'd be willing to give arc raiders scans of your ID to play online?
>>730309849>install a fucking child's game marketed to 3 year old infants>turns out it has chat and sex dungeons in itstop defending child rapists>>730309998roblox spends millions of dollars advertising their game and tricking parents into thinking their game isn't a grooming service, stop defending child predators
>>730311968I already gave roblox my ID to use voice chat, so I don't really care. Roblox is a shit game by the way, nothing good on there. I'm convinced only midwits like it.
>>730311095LMAO at your pathetic vitriol and false equivalence.
>>730300196It's because the nannies and foids don't want 40 year old males chatting with anyone who is "young" anonymously, and everyone wants to inject AI into everything, to automate society and control behaviors.They're trying to set up automation so that people will only ever be matchmade with their own peer groups through the internet going forward. That's what this is for, and it sucks. Most people I have a "connection" to that I haven't met IRL are at least 5 years younger or older than myself. I hated school all my life, not because of the education itself but because of the sense of being institutionalized. I cannot stand institutions, and to me, all of this screams "we're institutionalizing the internet."
>>730312316>I'm convinced only midwits like it.Pretty funny from the guy apparently willing to give up his most personal information to try out a baby game.
>>730312661You are aware I have plenty of friends in their 20's who have begged me to play roblox with them, right?
>>730312698Why the fuck would someone be aware of that. Are you medically retarded?
>>730312698>friends in their 20's who have begged me to play roblox with them
>>730312753Because its obvious, given the popularity of the product and how many adults on various platforms manage to play it daily, despite it shitness? You must be medically retarded if you don't know this.
>>730299665>pedophiles (child grooming troons) ruin feature for everyone>retards are mad that measures have to be taken to keep children from being groomed by "Lilith"Honestly, if you're upset by this, you're a child grooming troon. Normal people are mad at the problem, not the solution.
>>730312786>Because its obviousNo it's not you fucking baby brain. You would fail a Sally-Anne test you actual toddler.
>>730312829except this isn't gonna stop actual pedos and just serves to get in regular peoples' ways
>>730312868You're retarded as hell and clearly live under a rock and have no friends. I refuse to believe otherwise. Also I'm literal genius range IQ so you can suck my dick, I'm not extending this reply chain further.
>>730299825it's a tough problem. I think kids having an internet space of their own is fine, but there's no real way to ensure pedos don't take advantage of the space for themselves. the best you can do without surveillance state shit like ID required to post in roblox is strict moderation in place to ensure these kids have a space free of adults trying to exploit them, but it's impossible to ensure 100% safety.
>>730299804i love your avatar based anon
>>730312829I'm mad roblox isn't getting punished enough and the CEO isn't in jail for stating he wants to keep the market for pedophiles open. I'm mad that it's further normalizing giving away your personal information to the actual antichrist who sees all of humanity as cattle. Just turn the feature off completely. Roblox does not fucking need a adults only section.
>>730312940>you live under a rock for not knowing my personal life story and what my friends say to me
>>730313048nta but its physically impossible to not have at least one friend who plays roblox in your friends list unless you have no friends.
>>730312829How many several decades ,if not centuries, have people used the excuse of "think of the children"?How retarded are you to not see that the global push for this is not actually for protecting children but to blatantly collect the data and biometric data of both children and adults? Like it's so fucking obvious and yet you retards who before pushed for outlandish conspiracy shit are ignoring the actual blatant conspiracy right in front of your faces using they're using the most pathetic and transparent excuse possible.
Every single person who works for roblox should be in jail.
>>730312829nigger I am mad at BOTH for ruining MY video games.
>people are unironically defending a company that put DATING into a fucking children's video gamesorry, I guess I shouldn't say fucking children because some of you child predators will take that literally
>>730299804Fpbp
>>730313326There's a lot of people who just kneejerk simp for any company now for some reason. It's really fucking weird to me. Like yeah parents shouldn't let ipad be their babysitter or whatever but I think the people making evil shit specifically marketed to children should probably be the ones getting in trouble.
>>730308979In large part because anyone openly saying they were under 18 was instantly banned or called an annoying faggot (and then banned). I was 25 on the internet for about 10 years. It's crazy to me how kids are just allowed to be on twitter and shit and openly say "I am a minor". Like what the fuck do you think is the natural outcome of that?>>730309439>Millennials were taught to never share your real life information online and that the internet and offline are different.This too.
>>730299665When I was a kid I chatted with people all over the world. Other kids, old people. Even got into some chat rooms with unironic and actually real deal career hackers who I came to understand were actual criminals. But I just never, ever, ever shared any personally identifiable information online. As was the mantra for the entire internet as I was growing up. When and why did that change? Roblox is dumb and shit and yes it's full creeps preying on kids. But if your kid never, ever shares identifiable information, how dangerous could it really be? Not to victim blame, but your kid has got to be a retard that shares personally identifiable information to end up in trouble. No?
>>730313910>PRISM partner starts asking for all your information
>>730299665That's a clever way to collect pictures of children
>>730314756>spoof it with an attractive child's>inb4>face>get an invite to Epstein's new special child rape dungeon (that new one in Israel where all the US politicians went for a week)

>>730313182News flash: the guy you're replying to is one of the global elite who benefits for this. They sow discord and infighting among the sheeple masses and those people never rise up to fight their masters.
>>730299665You're gloating now, but how will you feel when this rolls out to the rest of social media?
>>730299665Good. Roblox has a pedo problem and I'm tired of pretending it doesn't. 4chan should do the same thing.
>>730312517Pedophile loser seething lmao
>>730299825Anon, asperger adults are worse than children online. They're the real reason why the internet is going to shit
>>730309998>redditor defends child predatorsAs expected
>>730317972>>730317847>>730318281The pedophiles are gloating right now because all they have to do to get unregulated access to as many children as they want within their favorite age range is to send in some photos of a child's face.
Roblox needs to be shutdown along with discord with mass investigations
>>730318382Exactly why roblox needs to be shut down and the CEO hung in the town square
Roblox creators like Dreamybull have made the game this way

>>730314042Blame Facebook for getting the ball rolling on normalizing oversharing your personal info
>>730299665>Club Penguin and Habba Hotel don't have this problemHow did they do it?
you can buy stolen kid accounts from lzt.market and have a age of 9 and talk to kids
>genuinely makes the predator problem even worse since it funnels at risk or vulnerable people away from Roblox out of any potentially responsible individuals eyes onto groomer platforms such as discord.Literally nobody wins except Roblox and Groomers.games that rely on communication are completely destroyed,games that have smaller playerbases are now further fractured.They don't have to take responsibility anymore since all the grooming will just happen off-platform and roblox isnt "responsible" for that.A gigantic shifting of the blame that only serve's to empower pedos while satisfying investors and soccer moms who know no betterIn reality its a masterstroke if your soulless corporate monster
