    I think the reason people are mad is less about "google please follow the law" and more about "google please do the right thing"

  • real signature of the roblox ceo also the thing in the title is essentially a real quote. here's a bit more context if you want it: > Like, you can say, ‘Okay, we are exploiting, you know, child labor,’ right? Or, you can say: we are offering people anywhere in the world the capability to get a job, and even like an income.

Seems like such a niche "security" feature... what are they really trying to accomplish here? Something seems fishy to me
