unfortunately this kind of thing has happened before, many times, in many other online communities, games and networks over the years
and it will continue to happen as long as parents dont keep their kids off the internet or away from media that has the potential to harm them, dox them, or worse
the main thing that makes the roblox mess novel in some way is that its happening in an age when pretty much everyone uses the web and has access to knowing this info
but overall this is nothing new
the golden rule of the internet since it became accessible in the 90s was:
dont put your personal information online, especially around people you dont know
when people dont follow that one simple rule, they get hurt
it is the one rule
when its broken is when you get events like the Nintendo Swapnote Controversy, the guy opening fire at a tekken tournament, streamers getting SWAT'd, and the literal hundreds of times a pervert has hunted down someone they met on a social media platform
you cant rely on companies to keep you safe
you cant rely on companies to keep your kids safe
no modern company has good intentions
no modern company wants to be accountable
if your kid is posting personal info on roblox, you didnt teach them the rule
if your kid is sharing personal info on discord, you didnt teach them the rule
if your kid is sharing selfies on keek or tiktok or wherever, you didnt teach them the rule
you have allowed them to expose themselves to a world full of freaks
and you, the parent, are ultimately at fault
