Roblox argues 8-year-old waived rights in wrongful death lawsuit (www.courier-journal.com)

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.

I saw the article on Reddit, the kid bypassed the Parent Locks, or the more likely scenario is that the 'kid zone' of Roblox has plenty of unhinged weirdoes thst know how to trespass into the kid zone.

The poor kid was manipulated into offing herself.
