Rolock is just doing its thing. It's not like facebook, where these issues then go and affect the wider world. I think that while rolock was inscrutable for a while, now it's publicly traded,. Now that journalists are timeg ta look into it, i think theres going o be a lot more stories like the reporting that we've done over the next couple of years.
Paris Marx is joined by Quintin Smith to discuss how Roblox profits from the labor of children, built an exploitative in-game economy, and needs to be regulated as soon as possible.
