    The guy who started the petition said the petition is purely to get headlines and negative press about Roblox, to hopefully drive investors away from the platform

        There are 17 comments in this thread as of this writing, half of which are me ranting about it and a bunch of others being people unhelpfully telling a concerned parent to google what it’s about if they don’t know why Roblox is bad.

        As far as I can tell his has increased awareness by one person. That is much, much less than 0.01%.

        If you want awareness of the people that matter you want to get to the mianstream press, who have way more reach than Change.org, particularly with that demographic.

        Once again, this is very ineffectual on all stated goals. Whehter that’s by design or through incompetence I can’t tell.

          By design in that, as I said above, this doesn’t seem like a serious attempt to generate any change but rather a bit of a tantrum from users that don’t necessarily want meaningful changes to the crap Roblox does.

          Think more Modern Warfare 2 boycott than “EU regulators looking into loot boxes”.

          Considering that the whole thing stems from drama stirred by Roblox streamers and youtubers who make a living from Roblox itself I’m not feeling particularly tinfoily.

            What’s the chances the CEO is a pedophile?

              All of my friends who also have kids tell me I will inevitably cave, but I’m not letting my kids anywhere near this game.

                The design was to stir up negative press

                And by the fact that there was an article posted about it within a day of the petition starting, I’d say it was pretty successful

                  Roblox uses children as unpaid labour to produce content for their platform, as well as the risk your kid runs into nazis or pedophiles on the platform. That used to be rampant, not sure if they’ve managed to get a grip on that now.

                    That’s fair but I personally wouldn’t recommend 4chan to kids either.

                      We banned it because it was mindless nonsense and everything tried to sell you something. Had no idea about all this child safety stuff.

                            Give them a call and ask them why they support child abuse.

                              Not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not. In the off chance you’re not, tinfoil is a colloquialism for aluminum foil (at least in North America), so I don’t think OP actually means tin foil.

                              If it was sarcasm, please disregard.

                                  What do they think you’re going to inevitably cave on next, letting the kids ride around without seat belts? Jfc just tell the kid no.

                                      Kids can be very persistent and it can be very tempting to compromise for a moment of peace.

                                        This guy makes money by providing a safe space for pedophiles to meet children.

                                        He is above the law!

                                        Trump admin literally stepped in to ensure that Israeli government official charged with attempted child rape could return to Israel on 10k bond.

                                        This is what the US is and always has been.

                                        Pedos are above the law.
