Exploitation in Gaming

Roblox's model relies heavily on user-generated content, often created by children, raising concerns about the exploitation of young developers. While the platform compensates creators with Robux, this virtual currency can only be spent within the game, echoing historical practices of scrip that restricted workers’ spending. Additionally, alarming incidents of child abduction linked to interactions on Roblox highlight the urgent question of the platform's responsibility in ensuring user safety.
