This is one of the proofs. It's completely understandable in human psychology when people initially goes into denial after being confronted with something shocking like that, as seen in the reactions by many people to the recent partial disclosure of the Epstein Files.

Roblox has a lot of problems in child safety aspects, such as the profileration of so-called condo games and inaction against child predators on the platform. YouTuber Schlep and others tried to raise the issues to Roblox but to no avail, and they had an easier time in collaborating with law enforcement to get chomos on the game platforms arrested instead.

Early this month Roblox, instead of using the banhammer against chomos, turned it against Schlep instead accusing the latter of "vigilantism" despite categorical refutations that Schlep had done everything by the books. It became the final straw as numerous influencers like KreekCraft expressed solidarities for Schlep and began to boycott Roblox.

The controversy got so big that Congressperson Ro Khanna launched a petition urging Roblox to fix its child safety issues and some U.S. states began to sue Roblox.

That's right. You're almost certainly looking at the tip of the iceberg. Let's hope that the discovery processes will be extensive.

Thanks! Hopefully there's a way to incorporate the conversion tool to the federated encyclopedia's interfaces in the near future.

Ibis really should maintain itself as the competitor to Wikipedia, given recent media attention on systemic issues such as content distortions at Native American history topic area.

Cory Doctorow has a word for the phenomenon: enshittification.

A lot of people have asked in the support forums to tone down or moderate their policy to only clearing the contents of inactive email accounts instead of accounts themselves, because access to email accounts are seen more like an utility these days with so many online services using emails for multi-factor authentication and verification.

There are a lot of factors which will cause people to be involuntarily absent from their accounts, such as medical incapacity, prison (whether rightfully or not, since there are many wrongful conviction cases worldwide), internet blackouts, and within the context of East Asia, being trapped in scam compounds for an extended time.

I support only the deletion of inactive accounts if they were abandoned immediately after creation and whose main motive is to squat usernames.
