Ive been playing roblox for roughly 6 years now, and heres what I suggest for parents 1. If your kid is under 8, don't let them play. As simple as that. 2. If your child isnt playing on Windows or Mac, dont let them use the excuse that its educational. The only was to script/code in Roblox is on Macbooks and Windows. 3. Dont buy your kids Robux. Just dont. 4. Make sure your kid is not on Discord, thats were groomers will lure kids from Roblox to be freaks. 5. Set your kids account age to their actual age so that they have age restrictions 6. Monitor your kids use occasionally
oh yea. also check up on their groups and if most of the members have inappropriate avatars and usernames, leave the group. most of the predator groups also have s,,,spade" in them.
honestly, his statements toward predators and furries(not related) can be really harsh at times. But understand that ruben sim himself has always advocated himself as a beacon of light for children who fell victim to predators that felt hopeless to finding any solutions
How does the Company manage to contradict itself in every statement concerning abuse and get away with it ? Something in the shadow of this constellation is what the online community should expose .
Roblox would rather spend its money towards legal and PR coverups than actually fix the problem at hand. They keep saying everything is fine. But if everything was fine, then why are there more and more people speaking up about these groomings and inappropriate content & items. The fact that Roblox denies that this is a systemic issue proves that they don’t care about its users.
True in some cases, but some parents barley scratch the surface on what roblox is and thats not necessarily their fault. Its advertised as a kids game after all. Parenting has certain ways it could lead to situations where children meet malicious people on Roblox, but id say its more than 90% robloxes fault. They dont seem to care about their platform.
The Roblox community was shocked with the exposé of MisterObvious back in 2017. Nowadays, it's more common and less surprising to see pedophilies get outed.
Really glad my childhood was like normal multiplayers like CS Source and pirated Halo. No interaction outside of ppl shooting and random ppl typing jajajajaja The peak of the online experience 😌
I came down here looking for other people who were as baffled about this as I was. They still look, act AND sound 12. I'm genuinely questioning whether the reporter got it wrong, but I'm sure they would've gotten consent to film and show their face, so they must've checked ID, right?? My brain like CANNOT reconcile this.
20:46 I feel like they should boost that number up because just because a kids in their preteen era doesn’t mean they aren’t still vulnerable in fact I think they are even more vulnerable because most of them are hitting puberty and are starting to feel new emotions and urges. I definitely think it should be moved up to at least 12 years old
Of course Roblox would reject the claim that their content endangers children. To admit it means that they would have to put safety over profit. Why would they?
@@joecool9739nah online people call it cheese pizza cause if you say anything else your video/comment will be deleted. The actual predators def use something much worse
Like any form of direct communication, people will use it to predate. The best solution is teaching kids to be less trusting and maintain personal security. No this is not victim blaming, its a method for prevention that I and many who grew up with the internet were taught.
Yea, but the problem persist. The fact here is that, regardless of the other platforms, which it’s not important if there or there aren’t predators there too, moderation is too ineffective in Roblox because they prefer lying about safety than spend money for user security. Child teaching is NOT an easy task and being a parent has always been difficult. Every kid is grown their own way, differently from the others and trust me when I tell you that just telling them to not trust strangers is never enough because they don’t know what trust truly mean in general.
@@scramjetaerospike6826 I am well aware their moderation etc must improve, but children must be made aware of the risks too. I was one of the first people to grow up with the internet and we were told specifically to not share info with strangers.
Basically like Facebook. They could easily do more but the controversial parts drive traffic & revenue so instead of getting strict they just balance as little effort as possible but still sort of doing something and will do bandaids fixes to keep users on platform still
Roblox is a big stone wall. Strong, but not impenetrable. It cracks and erodes over time. Instead of fixing it up, they polish the surface to appeal to outsiders. Words and excuses can't fix a wall. The best way to keep the blade sharp is by using it.

@@Sjalabais children should not be unsupervised online. If you are unable to supervise them when they are using it then you take it away until you can. Anything less makes you a bad parent.
@@hacksmerian2879The thing is, Roblox is designed for kids. While parents should definitely supervise their children, it's mainly Roblox's responsibility to protect them from predators because the platform is primarily aimed at a younger audience.
I'm no fan of Ruben sim but It's very telling when Roblox constantly stand on his neck for calling them out. Roblox would have an argument to be made if Ruben made allegations with no proof, but he consistantly delivers proof and context for all to see these arent unwarranted concerns or pure malice, unless they intend to imply ruben is creating the very stuff he's acusing them of? Typical Roblox.
a massive part of the problem is we need to keep children this young off the internet and social media. seriously. I couldn't imagine being 13 yrs old now in school or social life, everyone has phones and constantly online and obsessed with it
Years of educating children about the potential harm of the Internet would equal wasted time , slowly desensitise and pave the way for further growth to impact yet another generation until the core of the issue gets so out of bounds to a point where it will become uncontrollable .
The point is not that “if internet is too hard to control for parents, then it’s best to completely wipe it out from the kids life”. The fact is that internet itself is a harm to kids, it’s not a for the predators, it’s everything else that simply destroys kids brains, you know, stuff like attention span, etc… Kids should go out to the park, visit new places, interact with real people and other kids.
@@scramjetaerospike6826 well, I beg to differ. When I was a kid, video games were blamed for doing exactly the same that internet does today. Read Midway Vs. U.S. Govt. Case of Mortal Kombat. Formerly, TV has been blamed for keeping kids away from the parks. But in the end, its the parents' who can steer the kids away from harmful content to more creative ones.

@@BraydenDozStuff i think most parents just have no idea what this is at all, they don't know what online gaming is and have no idea kids are talking to adults, they think its just like playing any other game.
13:11 perfect PERFECT example! Most parents do not understand that this is the new shopping mall where you do not talk to strangers. Its why during the 80s, missing children were popping up left and right because parents were so oblivious to the concept of being aware where your child was at the time that TVs had to remind parents at a certain time to see where their kids were. We need parents to keep reminding themselves that this is like dropping off your kids at the mall to "hang out"
parents, never let your kids on roblox. There’s no need for them to have it and there are tons of safer video games out there. Particularly single-player games
Yes; but only for robux. The DevEx system converts sums like 100,000 robux-which would cost $800 when purchasing-to $350. This means the developer, in turn, makes 30.625% of the original. They forgot to mention that, but they were not wrong.
Honestly I think the only solution is going to be to start putting C-suite level folks in prison as a consequence of negligence. Bring back Enron style accountability. Everyone should catch a case for not caring about their users at any age but esp children. It's really upsetting, we had actual child friendly platforms at one point, but this ain't them.
Governments should require that companies have safety monitors in their social platforms. If their not willing to comply with age verification because like any greedy money hunger machine does, they should be liable for under age harmful exposure.
The rule of taking action against users who bully harrass and discriminate others off platform is not enforced, a friend of mine who is a roblox developer was mass harassed, bullied and attack by another community on roblox, it was reported using the digital services act in the european union but it was denied because it happened "off platform" despite there being more than enough evidence and telling them about the rule where the owners are responsible for their own community based off what they tell them to do.
It already is. Lethal Company was supposed to be a Roblox game but the lead dev left the platform and started from scratch when all of these blew up. A lot of developers are also leaving Roblox one by one.
Also after the lawsuit and the truth relating to Ruben has been revealed, Roblox's stock price tanked 60% from their all time high and they have yet to recover. Their stock is close to becoming a penny stock.
But it still is, and Roblox problem is way bigger than the other platforms because they prefer lying about safety than spend money to improve it. The fact that other platforms have this problem too doesn’t affect the awerness that we should keep about Roblox.
Just because Bloomberg decided to report on one gaming platform problem doesn't mean she's nor acknowledging other problems in other games, roblox's problem is just more noticeable and problematic because robloc refuses to do anything about it.
The part where you said "Roblox takes 70% cut of the sale" is no longer true. Today, the seller takes 70% of the cut of Robux, while Roblox takes a 30% cut.
@hayder0687 I mean, everything, everyone, relies on AI nowadays. Even people make AI arts and claimed it as they made it themselves. Now, where is the fact that roblox moderators are "human moderators"?
I am glad that I haven't found any preds. The fact that Roblox only will take down a game that was made and owned by a child predator after another corporation files a DMCA Copyright Infringement is horrible.
@@sbtopjosh4098 There should be very harsh laws towards company actions taken in the first place on the internet. Roblox managed to discover a way to profit off of child labor while offering them 0 protection from predators. Yet we all sign a contract just for using any service on the internet.

I used to play Roblox between 2008 and 2012. Back then it was nothing like this at all. just a fun and exciting platform with a whole bunch of new and exciting games and tools, something that hadn’t really been done before at the time. It felt nice and welcoming, and there wasn’t too much social stuff so I felt safe using it. I haven’t really touched it since about 2013, honestly I forgot it even existed until last year when it seemingly blew up. And honestly, seeing where it is now and what it’s turned into just scares and sickens me. Parents, seriously, don’t let your kid near this.
Criticizing Roblox and making the knowledge of this issue mainstream is the only way for things to change; the stock price of Roblox has to dip eventually, which will anger the shareholders and force them to take more action into restructuring the company. The moderation team is heavily understaffed and many moderators lack training in distinguishing threats. I hope that this video will set off a chain of events, and more news entities will cover this.
When I was around 10 years old (8 years ago) there was an exploiter with a disgusting script that does.. y’know and targeted me. I didn’t even know what adult things were at the time so I didn’t understand what was happening on my screen. One of the many reasons I do not make my avatar female anymore in any online game
What upsets me about this it’s so easy to find these games and they get massed reported but they don’t get banned and they’re sometimes even promoted by Roblox them selfs I quite literally got recommended “sus bathroom game❤❤❤” yesterday and I don’t even play hangouts not to mention I’ve seen several times of people asking other people for their age only to see the other person say they’re underage And Roblox has done little to nothing and also seems they don’t do any background checks before hiring employees because an employee was recently exposed for this type of stuff
My dads friend recently met the CEO of Roblox and he mentioned to him how he would let his daughters play Roblox more often if they at least try to work on the predator problem and David whatever his name is, said “oH WErE acTUalLy WORkinG oN ThaT” when there really no and it’s honestly so messed up😢
I really hope this side of Roblox can get more media coverage in the future. If enough people become aware of this issue, it could potentially force Roblox to finally do something about it

+1 Rep from THE VEROXUS EMPIRE!
Ruben is the batman of roblox
Hes also helped make roblox a lot safer and opened this problem to the public eye
aint no way they got to interview arnold😭
So Roblox extorted $150,000 from a teenager and nuclear hellfire hasn't been brought upon them?
It already is. Lethal Company was supposed to be a Roblox game but the lead dev left the platform and started from scratch when all of these blew up. A lot of developers are also leaving Roblox one by one.
Also after the lawsuit and the truth relating to Ruben has been revealed, Roblox's stock price tanked 60% from their all time high and they have yet to recover. Their stock is close to becoming a penny stock.
@@justaguy6133 I hope they completely go out of business. You don't extort money from children, especially not for such petty reasons.
It's not just roblox
But it still is, and Roblox problem is way bigger than the other platforms because they prefer lying about safety than spend money to improve it.
The fact that other platforms have this problem too doesn’t affect the awerness that we should keep about Roblox.
Ive never seen any other game with this problem 😂
discord
Just because Bloomberg decided to report on one gaming platform problem doesn't mean she's nor acknowledging other problems in other games, roblox's problem is just more noticeable and problematic because robloc refuses to do anything about it.
My man, its horrible seeing 12 year olds reenacting the senario of how they were created
The part where you said "Roblox takes 70% cut of the sale" is no longer true. Today, the seller takes 70% of the cut of Robux, while Roblox takes a 30% cut.
From cyber mob leader to cyber vigilante, crazy
he was never a cyber mob leader lol
MODERATORS AREN'T DOING ANYTHING AT ALL
@hayder0687 I mean, everything, everyone, relies on AI nowadays. Even people make AI arts and claimed it as they made it themselves.
Now, where is the fact that roblox moderators are "human moderators"?
I'm having a really hard time believing that the woman at 5:50 is an 18 years old. There's no way she's 18.
I am glad that I haven't found any preds. The fact that Roblox only will take down a game that was made and owned by a child predator after another corporation files a DMCA Copyright Infringement is horrible.
GET KIDS OFF THE INTERNET. IT'S NOT SAFE
Nope. You don't just burn the whole house down just because you don't like some of the people inside it.
@@sbtopjosh4098 There should be very harsh laws towards company actions taken in the first place on the internet.
Roblox managed to discover a way to profit off of child labor while offering them 0 protection from predators.
Yet we all sign a contract just for using any service on the internet.
@@sbtopjosh4098 well my problem dissapeared plus i can collect insurance money, so why shouldn't i?
@@sbtopjosh4098the fact is not only safety, kids must not be on internet at all because it hurts their brains.

The squad animators conformed by MRobvious,Ribs, Notive and Nicksdaga
Nicksdaga is a mexican animator but he abused her sister when he has 11 years and her sister 4 years
they glossed over the fact that roblox used to have safechat 💀
Oh yeah that and guest account which were perfect for children because no one could track the user and engage with them. They removed them because it was impossible for them to make money and sell robux to children if they didn’t have an account
I want the old roblox back.
Shoutout to the big homie Ruben sim for keeping the platform safe
I used to play Roblox between 2008 and 2012. Back then it was nothing like this at all. just a fun and exciting platform with a whole bunch of new and exciting games and tools, something that hadn’t really been done before at the time. It felt nice and welcoming, and there wasn’t too much social stuff so I felt safe using it. I haven’t really touched it since about 2013, honestly I forgot it even existed until last year when it seemingly blew up. And honestly, seeing where it is now and what it’s turned into just scares and sickens me.
Parents, seriously, don’t let your kid near this.
Kids should not have access to the internet, full stop. No amount of moderation is going to completely fix the problem, and the risk is too great.
UA-camrs tryna not touch kids (Level Impossible)
17:13 😢stay safe ruben..
Criticizing Roblox and making the knowledge of this issue mainstream is the only way for things to change; the stock price of Roblox has to dip eventually, which will anger the shareholders and force them to take more action into restructuring the company. The moderation team is heavily understaffed and many moderators lack training in distinguishing threats. I hope that this video will set off a chain of events, and more news entities will cover this.
Wait till they learn about meep city🙏
When I was around 10 years old (8 years ago) there was an exploiter with a disgusting script that does.. y’know and targeted me. I didn’t even know what adult things were at the time so I didn’t understand what was happening on my screen. One of the many reasons I do not make my avatar female anymore in any online game
Alternate title: Roblox Has a Minor Problem
Remember this guys this all generally happened because the 2nd owner died and quit from their community
It’s disgusting of how some people in this world act.
So my future kids won't have Roblox, I guess.
And the fact that they have 1600 moderators only in 2022.
Only ~3,000 content moderators surprised me. Thats bad
Roblox moderators even doesn't care reports.
finally. someone who gets it. now that such a big company has put out a statement maybe their stock will fall enough for them to care
Amazing documentary! Keep it up
is that how ruben sims actually looks???
What upsets me about this it’s so easy to find these games and they get massed reported but they don’t get banned and they’re sometimes even promoted by Roblox them selfs I quite literally got recommended “sus bathroom game❤❤❤” yesterday and I don’t even play hangouts not to mention I’ve seen several times of people asking other people for their age only to see the other person say they’re underage And Roblox has done little to nothing and also seems they don’t do any background checks before hiring employees because an employee was recently exposed for this type of stuff
Roblox banned and sued ruben sim for calling them and and exposing predators
My dads friend recently met the CEO of Roblox and he mentioned to him how he would let his daughters play Roblox more often if they at least try to work on the predator problem and David whatever his name is, said “oH WErE acTUalLy WORkinG oN ThaT” when there really no and it’s honestly so messed up😢
3:46 Wrong way around 70% for the maker of the item 30% for roblox
The thumbnail is creepy though
This thumbnail is diabolical.
I've spent my many years playing on roblox, looking out for the newer and young players, keeping them from going to the darker corners
Roblox isn't appropriate for children
This is why my daughter can't play Roblox.
I really hope this side of Roblox can get more media coverage in the future. If enough people become aware of this issue, it could potentially force Roblox to finally do something about it
Bruh not a Roblox documentary 😭
1:49 theres me
Les go Ruben! We need more Roblox UA-camrs like him
