The CEO was NOT prepared for the questions in this interview, quote: `I was hoping to come here and talk about fun stuff`.
It's insightful how a genuine question about hindenburg's research into Roblox's decrease in safety immediately pushed the CEO to fury starting 23:29.
To say nothing of the Roblox situation, anyone else having a hard time reading this piece of "reporting"? It reads, to me, as so obviously slanted and opinionated against Roblox from the outset. It's not trying to portray facts, it's clearly trying to make the reader interpret the situation in an anti-roblox light, instead of letting the reader arrive there on their own.
I don't have children, but friends and family do, and I had always heard Roblox presented as kid-friendly and kid-safe. This meant I heard about someone's child playing Roblox and, thinking it was kindof an electronic construction set, ie a great learning and play tool,[0] I felt no concerns at all. To describe this interview as a 'car crash' is almost underselling it. I feel terrified. Most of all, what are my frien…
Nintendo would never turn away money, unless they feel it would damage their reputation as a company you can trust your children with.
If they had believed Roblox was safe, they would have 100% taken that money.

I've not got kids yet, but I do wonder if the best way to prepare them for the internet is by teaching them the many dangers by navigating it with them (scams, grooming, bullying, hacking)?

But this is not a Roblox problem it is an internet problem. And I do not know how to solve it except more censorship and control.

Easy way to know if Roblox is safe for children is to ask the following question: Is Roblox available on Nintendo? Nintendo would never turn away money, unless they feel it would damage their reputation as a company you can trust your children with. If they had believed Roblox was safe, they would have 100% taken that money.

The interview makes me think of Dupont and Tǝflon. "You are giving thousands of people cancer in your community."
"That's alright, think of the millions who love our products."
"Carry on, sir."
