But now they want a court to treat that click as though an 8-year-old knowingly negotiated away her right to have these issues heard. It's insulting.

In the court of public opinion, sharpen your pitchforks, light your torches, and move on Roblox HQ. This is objectively a silly argument.

Made in a court of law. Where lawyers play by different established rules. Where they are often compelled by those rules to pursue every possible avenue to get the best result for their client. Where they may be held accountable when mishandling their case. Where company execs push their own moral compass out of the way not because they believe this argument but out of a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders. It's a clusterfuck of obligations.

My gut feeling is they probably know this argument won't hold up in court. But it may just knock whatever punishment awaits them down a peg or two.
