Roblox toughens fight against predators with new guidance on players forming vigilante groups

Roblox's partnership with the FBI and NCMEC aims to stop players attempting to prevent predatory behaviour on their own with new measures.

To be fair, the problem is that these groups are going after people IRL, as per the article

    “We like a world without child abuse and pedophiles, and all that without compromising on (internet) freedom”

    “How about no”

    Not calling to violence but its frustration the first quote is never going to happen any soon.

    So does this mean FBI is playing Roblox for their job? Like as in my taxes are paying for their in-game currency and all that?

      For really real. People always whine about “well what if the person they catch isn’t actually a predator” but dawg, come the fuck on.

      If I invite a grown as person to meet me somewhere under the pretense that I am a child, and they show up to that meeting believing they are there to meet a child? Oh naw, I don’t give half a cold, rusty fuck what excuses they have for why they came over, I’m putting the paws on em. I’mma stomp a mud hole in em and walk it dry with all 6’1", 300 pounds of my fi-fy-fo-fum lookin ass.

      Is this an argument that relies on as a central point and fails to mention the difference between being a pedophile and acting on it aka child rape? Or the dumbest shit I’ve ever read?

      People have been hunting paedos for as long as I could remember.

      People are just more aware of paedos now.

      I don’t think serial murderers are as prevalent as paedophiles. The only person I have a connection to who was a victim of a serial murderer, that serial murderer was a paedophile (Robert Black) and murdered to cover up his vile actions.

      But there are far worse humans our there than kid fuckers.

      Like what exactly? I can only think of serial murderers who murder kids. If there are worse people, they aren’t far worse than the paedophiles.
