Can an 8-year-old waive their rights to sue a company by clicking a box?

That’s the stance of Roblox, an online gaming platform that bills itself as a digital playground.

The argument comes as the $41-billion company is embroiled in a lawsuit with the family of a Northern Kentucky child whose death by suicide, her mother says, is related to use of the platform.

      There’s only one condition, providing you were actually lucky enough to have been born alive.

      Unfortunately that condition is that you must eventually die.

        We can’t prove that currently, not everyone that has been born has also died yet.

          So far it appears to have been an inevitable eventuality, but I can see what you are implying.

          It’s akin to the P vs. NP problem.

          I just need enough time to witness it, making me the exception.
