kids should _not_ be playing roblox unsupervised (or at all?). it’s full of inappropriate and seemingly unmoderated content, while simultaneously being built to extract microtransactions.
amazing infra challenges, just a shame is a cesspool.

We usually do routines - while in the car, at home - "What are our online protocols?", "What if someone, even if they seem like a tiny kid, asks you for anything personal?" "If someone told you that it is one of our family or relatives, what are the challenge words and codes?" etc.
Right. Company's finance is based off on 1) letting game devs sell loot boxes freely to children. It's a legal slot machine for kids 2) paying developers with their own currency which then can be converted to tangible currency
These should be illegal
And Roblox has decent parental controls. You can disable any chat outside a curated group of friends, and not sign up for micro transactions.
IMO public chat should be disabled by default for U13 accounts, not the other way.
The games are pretty additive though, and the fake money becomes real money pretty fast.
