It argues that if Roblox and Discord had taken steps to screen users before allowing them on apps, or implemented age and identity verification and other safety measures, “Ethan would have never interacted with this predator, never suffered the harm that he did, and never died by suicide.”

They want these sites to screen every users ID on sign up. I’m sure the courts will love another, “for the children” security bill.
