VERY very bad idea there are tons of pedophiles on Roblox

Wth I used to play Roblox as a kid and the developers were staunchly against online dating of any sort. It's gross for them to suddenly do this.

Same  it was a ban-able offense back then (as it should be) so the fact that they're leaning into it (especially given the age demographics of the game) is disturbing. They should've just bought Tinder stock or something if they wanted to make money in that space. This is a horrible idea.

You literally have to verify your identity to prove your age, so I don't see the issue??

I just said you have to prove your identity to verify your age.
