      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.

        I dont mean to be rude here, but this isnt much different than when a lot of us here on lemmy hung out on 4chan.

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

      Found this. https://m.imdb.com/es/news/ni65429148/

      If you enable parent controls, it’s probably safe, but hell,I didn’t know.

      If it’s really pressing, you can Google it. There are many articles detailing the predatory business practices against children by Roblox.
