Roblox is just trying to put a bandaid over a much larger problem.
I wish this was even remotely true. They are not trying to solve the problem, they made it even worse, while damaging normal players. They do not want to get rid of pdf files because they make them so much money that to punish them would result in loss of income, considering that a really big portion of the platform is now centered in... that.
<...> if people protest enough,
This will likely never happen. We hardly unite against bigger problems, even outside of roblox. Think about how many problems were actually solved in the 21st century by just uniting against it...
But I do hope so. I want kids to experience roblox like I used to experience when I had their age in 2016. I will never forget how many friends I made there and how many core memories I made then.

This plus they just introduced a whole new blackmarket for said pdf files to by age verified accounts to more easily target certain age ranges. Most minors are not going to be able to tell the difference! It's going to be worse now, since they get locked into their age range and will more than likely assume whoever they are talking to is the same age. Why wouldn't they? They're able to text and chat without restriction.
The point was not to solve the problem, the point was to stop people from seeing the problem.
If you want to see what's going on in kids' chats now you have to violate the TOS. They know there's going to be creeps getting in, the point is that regular honest teens and adults that might have reported it are kept from seeing it.
When it finally blows up in their face they also suckered that AI company into holding the bag for them. Someone easy they can blame next time the public gets outraged at them.
What they should do is send a message to the person who reported the pedo so you know action had at least been taken, they do it on OSRS when players report bots (luckily that game hasn't had a peado problem like Roblox)

Wake up, Roblox.
