      We banned it because it was mindless nonsense and everything tried to sell you something. Had no idea about all this child safety stuff.

      What do they think you’re going to inevitably cave on next, letting the kids ride around without seat belts? Jfc just tell the kid no.

      If it’s really pressing, you can Google it. There are many articles detailing the predatory business practices against children by Roblox.

    What’s the chances the CEO is a pedophile?
