Pedo app asking for pictures of children. Ban Roblox already, Jesus Crist.
How nice to ask kids who cannot consent to share pictures with that company…
There are too many people on the internet, let alone children.
Getting an early start on cataloging with facial recognition.
I’d be far happier if they just shut down chat under 18. The pedos will find a way to get through otherwise.
Parents can turn off chat in the parental controls. Then I found my daughter chatting using the handheld “protest signs” in game that have customizable text…
I would be willing to verify my age if it meant I didn’t have to play with children.
…and how do you verify that chatters are over 18?
While I don’t love age verification, taking 3d webcam scans from adults won’t create a catalog of kids.
edit: and to clarify, IDGAF about chat ID verifications for almost all sites, but Roblox is marketed explicitly toward and occupied by children.
either way you’re creating a database of people’s faces. it’s gonna be handled by a third party no matter what so whether you’re above or below the cutoff is just a flag.
What’s stopping them from running a client model? Why even send the images home?
no amount of age verification/id controls is stopping bad parents from failing their kids, it’s a pointless waste of time which ultimately opens up these kids/people to being even more vulnerable when somebody hacks their database.
if you run a business that provides some digital entertainment service to children, and facilitates their communication while using it…the only way your stopping groomers (or just generally keeping it from turning into a cesspool) is by actually paying people to moderate the chat rooms, simple as that
and, atleast in an unregulated shithole like the US…the only way they’ll do that is if they end up being held liable under some class action lawsuit
small communities like this are work because the population using it is still relatively small
… to access chat features.
I’m going to go ahead and click ‘No’
Oh yeah after it’s been verified that Roblox is operated by a few pedos? Yeah this will go over wonderfully…
No? Still no flags popping up? Bells ringing? Alright, I’m sure this is fine too. It’s
keeping an eye onprotecting the kids at least.But we obviously can’t protect the kids if we don’t know who they are and therefore must have a database of all their faces.
Yeah, I’m sure that couldn’t possibly exist for ulterior motives. Bunch of fucking creeps.
Looks like they are building a menu…
“Sir, people keep using our service to get children to send them selfies! What do we do?”
How will it combat AI generated profile pictures? They’re literally everywhere now, I’m seeing them in brainrot mobile games even.
Probably with a different AI that’s trained to spot that. Realistically, they won’t.
Yum yum, get those kiddy pics!
i’m sure this is sarcasm but i’m still going to assume you’re a pedophile
👍
Didnt the pedo hunter guy prepare to go to war against Robloxs?
Was expecting a documentary on a streaming network
