Roblox CEO’s Worrying Response to Parents Concerned About Kids Playing Roblox
[summaraize]
Roblox is one of the most popular games for kids and young adults. However, because of its popularity, many parents are worried about the risks of their children using the platform. These worries often include things like cyberbullying, inappropriate content, and the chance of online predators.
In light of these concerns, Roblox CEO Dave Baszucki has addressed the issue directly, advising parents who are uneasy about their children using Roblox to simply stop them. “My first message would be, if you’re not comfortable, don’t let your kids be on Roblox,” he said.

Speaking with BBC News, Baszucki added, “That sounds a little counter-intuitive, but I would always trust parents to make their own decisions.”
Baszucki went on to say, “We do in the company take the attitude that any bad, even one bad incident, is one too many. We watch for bullying, we watch for harassment, we filter all of those kinds of things, and I would say behind the scenes, the analysis goes on all the way to, if necessary, reaching out to law enforcement.”
Last year, the company introduced new rules for minors under 13 after a report highlighted the risks for children on the platform. According to the company, Roblox now has AI systems that monitor communications. “We don’t condone any type of image-sharing on our own platform, and you’ll see us getting more and more, I think, way beyond where the law is on this type of behaviour,” said Baszucki.
Baszucki also compared building Roblox to what Walt Disney must have felt when he built Disney and made it what it is today. “It’s little like having the opportunity he had a long time ago when he was designing the Magic Kingdom.”
When asked to describe Roblox in three words, Baszucki chose four: “The future of communication.”
In related news, Turkey has banned Roblox over issues related to child safety. The Turkish government took this step after reports of inappropriate content on the platform which is primarily used by children and young adults.
