Parents should be more aware of how terrible Roblox is generally. It's the kind of product that should be regulated out of existence.

It's high time we had a Minecraft Bill.

I don't know what Minecraft is like these days now that microsoft has their hands in it, but when I played it Minecraft didn't have online gambling, microtransactions, sexual predators, child labor/exploitation, advertisements, brand/celebrity ambassadors, extremist propaganda, or any of the other harmful things roblox targets children with and exposes them to.

If minecraft is just like roblox now then sure, I'd be glad to back a bill to regulate that out of existence too.

The base game itself is still fine. It's paid servers where things start going awry.

It's almost like getting money involved in things has a tendency to corrupt those things.
