Schlep, a 'predator hunter' YouTuber with around 650k subscribers on the platform, has been banned from Roblox, it's claimed.The 22-year-old content creator posted screenshots on social media of what he claims is a cease and desist letter from a law firm acting on behalf of Roblox, detailing the ban...
Out of the loop explanation please?
Roblox has a lot of problems in child safety aspects, such as the profileration of so-called condo games and inaction against child predators on the platform. YouTuber Schlep and others tried to raise the issues to Roblox but to no avail, and they had an easier time in collaborating with law enforcement to get chomos on the game platforms arrested instead.
Early this month Roblox, instead of using the banhammer against chomos, turned it against Schlep instead accusing the latter of “vigilantism” despite categorical refutations that Schlep had done everything by the books. It became the final straw as numerous influencers like KreekCraft expressed solidarities for Schlep and began to boycott Roblox.
The controversy got so big that Congressperson Ro Khanna launched a petition urging Roblox to fix its child safety issues and some U.S. states began to sue Roblox.
Wow thanks for the summary. I’d heard of Roblox but never really looked it up. I thought it was the big Lego blocks.
