Labeling children as children and then boxing them off is making them vastly easier targets. You really think pedophiles aren't still going to be reaching kids on Roblox because of this? You really think this will be an infallible system that 100% determines the person using the device at that time is a child? Predators will find ways around this, the children will be easier targets, and the parents will all be even more carless about their children's online activities because they will think exactly like you.

especially when the pedophiles have a firm control on America and 80 million worshippers.
