    Yeah, I quite “love” this BS.

    On one hand, these tech megacorps are pushing for privacy violating measures to “protect the children”

    On the other hand they’re literally profiting off child abuse and refuse to stop it. See e.g. Roblox refusing to deal with paedos because they were the highest paying customers…

      Roblox is the worst of the bunch, exploiting unpaid child work and doing nothing against the real predators.

      Man I really don’t like Roblox anymore… I used to play it a lot with the kids in extended family. I was the “funcle” so to speak.

      I tried to log in one day and found my password and email address has been changed. Clearly it got hacked, dunno how, since it was a very strong password manager password. Probably a data breach or something.

      Anyway, I recover the account, and I’m horrified. Some weirdo has been impersonating me and speaking to the young members of our extended family. Nothing serious yet thank God, I caught it early. But really weird stuff like asking what clothes they’re wearing. I contacted Roblox support but they didn’t give a shit. I told the family, but I don’t think they really understood what I was saying or why it’s serious.

      I deleted my account to remove that attack vector because that’s just terrifying. Worse than those baby monitors security.
