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.

Regardless of the age of someone entering into a contract (by clicking a checkbox)

Aren’t there certain rights you can’t waive, regardless of age?

    I think it depends on the country, since all rights themself are granted by the law of a country. That's why there is a global definition of what human right, but not every human gets to exercise that right.
