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.

    Resist and find other ways to do the thing... which is literally what kids do.

    Do you want your kids to be on Roblox with your knowledge and occasional oversight, or without your knowledge at all, without any parental control?

    I crafted wifi and tv antennae out of scraps of metal when my parents confiscated mine, but I don't think that applies here. (And yes, this was a brief golden era when terrestrial analog tv signals and wifi coexisted)
