Roblox is now making kids as young as nine upload a video selfie or ID just to use the chat. The whole point is to keep minors safer by limiting who they can talk to, but in what world should a 9-year-old be uploading a video of themselves so that they can play a game?
We also discuss people and companies holding on to tech longer than the makers of it intend for them to, Insurance companies claiming AI to be too much of a risk, and what tech Robb is picking up on sale over the holiday.
