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.

isn’t the age at which she signed the ‘contract’ even more relevant?

It's everything -- or it used to be, before the current administration (US) decided to turn two and a half centuries of law into Calvinball.
