I really hope that lawsuit will do something. Roblox needs to be held accountable for their BS.

Two devices in a box, one running the verification program facing the screen of the second device running an age filter on the rear facing camera. bypassed.

I thought of that in about 6 seconds. Anyone actually trying to defeat all of this dumb bullshit will.

Fuck surveillance, reject any company that tries this veiled data theft bullshit.

Aren't there strict regulations against this kind of privacy exposure especially when it comes to kids in Europe?

There should definitely be strong laws on the books for this privacy abuse.
