Roblox (RBLX) CEO Dave Baszucki tells parents that “if you’re not comfortable, don’t let your kids be on Roblox” and says “tens of millions” have positive experiences, Zoe Kleinman and Georgina Hayes of BBC News report. The site, which is popular among young gamers aged eight to 12, has been dogged by claims of some children being exposed to explicit or harmful content through its games, alongside multiple reported allegations of bullying and grooming. Baszucki says he remains confident in Roblox’s safety tools and insists the firm goes above and beyond to keep its users safe. “We watch for bullying, we watch for harassment, we filter all of those kinds of things, and I would say behind the scenes, the analysis goes on all the way to, if necessary, reaching out to law enforcement,” he told BBC News.
