[quote=Anonymous]I showed this thread to my 12th grade DS and asked him should I be worried about his ES aged brother.  He's not an expert by any means, but he's Gen Z and on a cybersecurity kick because he took it in school last year.

He said Roblox had good safeguards for not allowing links, pictures, bad language etc., in the chat.  There are parental controls that can be used to prevent DMs.  He pointed out that groomers are looking for the most possible targets, so the most popular games are the ones that parents should monitor if they are worried.  Often, those that get snared are directed to go to other sites. Therefore, those that have multiple apps available to them, like Roblox along with Snapchat, Discord, or Facebook are more likely to get lured.

I flat out asked if I should ban Roblox, he said no, and that anyone who is a half-way involved parent with their children really don't have to worry about that app.

Like I said, not an expert opinion, but brings up some good points from someone raised on the internet.[/quote]
