The County of Los Angeles filed suit today against social media gaming platform Roblox alleging that the platform failed to protect children from predatory behavior. The lawsuit alleges that while Roblox markets itself as a safe digital space for creativity, it is in reality an unsafe online environment that has become a breeding ground for predators.
Spoken like someone who hasn’t read up on how social media algorithms work, nor their effects on people’s cognitive abilities. Have you seen the photos of parents with their dead kids at the various court hearings lately?
Slippery slope fallacy. We use ID to regulate all manner of things here in the US, and I’m still able to obtain them. And yes, given the gravity of the harm being caused to young people by social media, I’m happy to provide my ID in order to lock them out of it until they’re adults, at least until a better and easier solution to the problem materializes.
It’s not a fallacy, you fucking idiot, IT IS LITERAL FUCKING REALITY. They got fucking CAUGHT RED HANDED by a bunch of hackers using OpenAI to give the IDs from Discord to ICE, to either silence critics or kidnap more people.
Get your head out of the damn sand. You’re not helping. Every single attempt to age check is the government simply trying to tie your online identity to your real identity to punish you eventually, and this administration does not give a rat’s ass about the constitution. At some point they WILL attempt to arrest or deport people for online speech.
