Ruined by Technology Roblox age verification verified my 6 years old nephew as 17 years old

Post image

Most kiddos like Roblox, and nephew is no exception. So when he came to me and asked me to help him set up an account, I decided to let him(and play under my supervision since I also happen to have an account). When we reached the face recognition section, it absolutely SUCKED ASS CUS WHAT DO YOU MEAN A BOY WHO IS AT HIS TENDER AGE OF GOD DAMN SIX IS SEVENTEEN. AND THE WORST PART IS I CAN’T REVERT IT TO HIS ACTUAL AGE FOR SOME REASON.

Edit: We decided not to play Roblox again after this shenanigan(which I should have done from the start)

Reddit is a perfect example of why volunteer mods do not need to be involved in child safety.

80% of the mod staff on here probably isn’t allowed within 500 feet of a school.

And the remaining 20% are the schoolchildren

I was a respected mod on a mildly controversial subreddit a few years ago at 12. When people started to notice discrepancies in my story I made up a fake suicide and ghosted the account.

At reddit people wlll do anything for power trip. If you want to protect kids you need a well trained staff, educated in kids psychology.
