Well documented on youtube for years. Roblox condo is essentially a disaster because when one of those games go down, another one takes its place. There’s so many of discord servers dedicated to condos, all of which are essentially places that manipulate and groom underage people.
Its always against tos, but like always, they choose what to moderate, and clearly they don’t give a fuck about these enough
What are condos? Is that short for something?
The terms in Roblox are weird. I recently learned what “obby” is. (Obstacle course)
This vid is just one of many documenting this
Think of it as roleplay games but a lot worse
This is the type of experience that is advertised for children but has the same lootbox system thats predatory and paylocks most of the games. Its basically a child exploitation market.
“Allowed” implies they knew about it, and let it happen anyway. Is that actually provable? They knew about these specific cases and knowingly let them continue happening? Some may say its just semantics, but semantics is literally the only thing lawyers and judges care about.
Yeah you can.
If the inappropriate content was reported as such and they took no action then that means they allowed it. They knew about it, due to the reports, and did nothing.
Perhaps, but simply reporting content does not prove that they are aware of it. Their report system could be automated, and it might not flag those specific reports for human review, or it could have been lost or dropped. I don’t know, I am just particularly curious as to how lawyers will be able to prove beyond any doubt that whoever at Roblox actually knew about the problem and willingly let it happen. I don’t doubt that Roblox was certainly negligent, but I wouldn’t know for certainty that they could be labelled as “allowing” as opposed to “neglecting to take action.”

I never played Roblox and tend to be fairly out of the loop, and even I have heard about Roblox in connection with child exploitation. Hope those kids eventually get justice and their predators prevented from harming them.
