  “Safety”

  The platform absolutely bursting at the seams with predators, with a CEO who knows this is happening but still wants to introducing dating and gambling into the game.

  Yeah, nothing fucking safe about this.

    God forbid you try to create a platform made for multiple age groups. Like mustache twirling evil 🙄.

      How many age groups are children a part of?

      Oh, you’re also including the predators too, my bad.

      Why the hell would anybody ever want to be on a platform for children? Why would any parent allow their kids on a platform for adults?

      Would you still defend it if they added porn to the platform?

    Apparently images alone don’t work. It has to be a video following a very specific set of instructions (looking to one side, then to the other, then straight ahead - or something like that).

    But your point still stands. Apparently a lot of kids are getting around this by using AI generated videos, or having a parent do it for them, or just drawing giving facial hair onto themselves.

    Yes, it’s definitely worse than Discord. Discord without age verification is still mostly usable. Roblox without it isn’t.

    The silver lining for me is that my kids have basically abandoned the platform now. I told them I’m not sending their IDs in because there’s such a huge risk of a data breach.

      They’re using that to make a 3d biometric facial model.

      Absolute privacy nightmare.

    Maybe they shouldn’t be chatting there, and this is a good deterrent. And if we can say parents are the solution, then are they not again the solution here? They should keep their kids away from facial recognition, and away from online spaces that don’t know their customers.

      Bothers me because I’m in process of divorcing my wife, and she pretty much does whatever the kids want so she can be the fun parent while I am the one who worries about this kind of stuff and ends up being the boring/antifun parent. So she has probably already done whatever, and if I stop them, I’m the bad guy…
