Alright Turkey, you got your “one good deed” this year.

Spend the next four months thinking of what you want to do next year.

Based action by a not so based country.

Also just gacr the article a quick skim. Seems it’s largely to do with protecting kids from pedophelia/sexual abuse, which I would imagine is a large problem on Roblox. Doesn’t have anything to do with the real exploitation of child labor that has been documented and posted about on here before.

its effectively a large problem for any community that has a majority kid userbase with communications on. It’s why in Flipnote 3d wasnt released for western audiences, as it was used by pedos in Japan to talk to children.

Bascially any popular game with children functionally has to have children comms turned off else it’d be a problem, and the only way thats being implemented is if its banned completely, or parents start monitoring what their children do/play (and we know the latter option is never happening because parents will never accept blame)

Which, I cannot stress this enough, fucking sucks. Kids shouldn’t have to deal with this shit, they should just be able to play and be weirdo little chaos beings. : (

Flipnote 3D could’ve been downloaded through club Nintendo though it has no online features. You can only share animations by connecting to another 3DS locally which I’m pretty sure no one did.

Swapnote got completely shut down for the child abuse reasons you mentioned though. It got replaced by Swapdoodle years later which is the same thing, but without the ability to attach photos. Also with a ton of monetization.
