Roblox stock is only down ~ 3% today, not sure what to make of that, other than maybe all this was already factored in to the price.

- hipadev23 2y agoIt's because the assertions around inflated key metrics have one of two outcomes: 1) Their research and conclusions are incorrect. 2) Their research is correct and Roblox's ARPU is significantly higher than reported.
- majestik 2y agoTrue, but I’m equally concerned about the other topic in the report - pedophilia / CSAM content, child grooming, etc. There should at least be a call for law enforcement investigation.
- hipadev23 2y agoRoblox is very active in monitoring, moderating, and reporting that sort of activity. Last year they reported 13,316 incidents of suspected pedos/groomers to NCMEC and law enforcement. Can they do better? Absolutely. But Roblox is a massive global platform with tens of millions of children on it every day. And you know where pedos hang out? Places with kids. In terms of the other questionable stuff (inappropriate, offensive, racist, and generally hateful stuff) I mean it's again a platform inhabited by edgy kids and teenagers. I'm not very concerned about that content. Roblox does moderate and ban users and content all the time. Beyond that? It's on parents to restrict if they don't want their kids exposed to the reality of people, especially kids, being assholes on the internet.
