Roblox's popularity has exploded among kids since the pandemic. Today Roblox has more than 150 million daily active users, and functions as one of the primary online gathering places for preteens. But precisely because Roblox is so popular with children, it has also attracted the attention of adult predators.This week we're joined by Roblox chief executive David Baszucki for a conversation about how the company is responding to allegations that it has become unsafe for children, and the new measures the gaming platform says it's now implementing to protect them.Guests:David Baszucki, chief executive of RobloxAdditional Reading: Roblox Sued for Wrongful Death After Teenager's SuicideGeneration Alpha's FarmVille Is Growing Like Crazy in Roblox We want to hear from you.

On this week's episode, we're joined by two of the finest internet culture reporters to ever lace up their boots and wade into the muck, Kat Tenbarge and Steven Asarch, to discuss why MrBeast's new theme park, Beast Land, is so bad – and why quality was never the point in the first place. Spoiler alert: It's a giant ad, as many so-called theme parks, activations, and experiences are these days. We live in an era of flimsy disposability where nothing – whether it's a short-form video or a branded IRL pop up – is built to last. Then we discuss the latest platform to go all in on invasive age verification tech: Roblox, which will require use of a facial age estimation system and ID checks to access chat. On one hand, Roblox has had more than its fair share of child predation scandals at this point, so it has every incentive to at least perform comprehensiveness here. On the other, Roblox's real problems run much deeper, and a suite of data-hungry surveillance tools won't solve them. Finally, Kat shares a wild story about the time someone commissioned her, then an ASMRtist, to make a video in which she turned them into a puppet.Credits- Hosts: Chris Person, Gita Jackson, and Riley MacLeod- Podcast Production & Ads: Multitude- Subscribe to Aftermath!About The ShowAftermath Hours is the flagship podcast of Aftermath, a worker-owned, subscription-based website covering video games, the internet, and everything that comes after from journalists who previously worked at Kotaku, Vice, and The Washington Post.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is de nieuwste spin-off in de The Legend of Zelda-franchise, waarin meer gefocust wordt op het verslaan van massa's vijanden zoals dat bekendgemaakt werd door de Dynasty Warriors-games. Dat heeft Nintendo ons al vaker laten doen met de Zelda-reeks, dus wat is de onderscheidende waarde van deze game die het verhaal van Tears of the Kingdom verder uitdiept? Dat bespreekt Joe van Burik met Matthijs Damsteeg, die de game uitgebreid heeft gespeeld voor deze Mini-Game-aflevering. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is nu te spelen op Nintendo Switch 2. Over All in the GameAll in the Game is de podcast over games voor iedereen. Wanneer er iets speelt in de wereld van games, hoor je dat hier: spannende ontwikkelingen, boeiende onderzoeken en natuurlijk de nieuwste releases om te spelen op je PlayStation, Xbox, pc of welk platform dan ook. Onder leiding van BNR's techredacteur Joe van Burik hoor je gesprekken met andere gamekenners, zoals beursnerd Jochem Visser, techredacteurs Niels Kooloos en Daniël Mol én popcultuurkenners Donner Bakker en Sam van Zuilen. Ook hoogleraar computerwetenschappen Felienne Hermans en universitair docent Laura van der Lubbe schuiven geregeld aan, en je hoort bijdragen van audioproducers André Dortmont en Jeanne Heeremans. Elke week hoor je minimaal één aflevering van All in the Game. Of juist meerdere, wanneer er veel speelt in de wereld van games. Soms met impressies en analyses over actuele ontwikkelingen en nieuwe games. Andere keren kun je luisteren naar interviews met makers van bijzondere games, van Grand Theft Auto (GTA) tot Baldur's Gate 3 - zowel Nederlandse als internationale ontwikkelaars. Of we praten met e-sport-atleten, onderzoekers en andere experts in de wereld van videogames, in onze rubriek Main Game. En regelmatig laten we iemand van BNR Nieuwsradio aanschuiven om te vertelen over diens favoriete game van vroeger in de Retro-rubriek. In deze podcast kijken we verder dan alleen wat een game leuk maakt: we bespreken juist ook in de culturele, maatschappelijke, economische en technologische impact ervan. Jaarlijks gaat er immers zo'n 200 miljard euro om in de wereldwijde game-industrie, dat is al (vele jaren zelfs) daadwerkelijk meer dan de muziek- en filmindustrie bij elkaar opgeteld Zo hoor je bij All in the Game niet alleen wat je moet spelen - en op welk nieuwe (game)platform - maar kun je daar nog bewuster mee bezig zijn, over praten en natuurlijk van genieten. Of het nou gaat om Super Mario of Sonic the Hedgehog, Fortnite of Roblox, voetbalgames van EA Sports FC of de FIFA, Call of Duty of Battlefield, League of Legends of Dota,of goude oude titels zoals Tetris, Rollercoaster Tycoon, The Sims of zelfs Snake. En we hebben ook aandacht voor liefhebberijen die dicht op games zitten, zoals Dungeons & Dragons, Lego en de films, series en strips rond reeksen zoals Star Wars en Marvel. Het komt allemaal aan bod in All in the Game. All in the Game werd als podcast al in 2022 opgenomen in het archief van Het Nederlands instituut voor Beeld & Geluid in Hilversum - als eerste podcast van BNR Nieuwsradio en één van de eerste gamepodcasts van allemaal. Gezamenlijk met talloze Nederlandse televisieprogramma’s, radioshows, games, websites, webvideo’s en podcast vormt dit materiaal de Nederlandse mediageschiedenis.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Online platforms like Roblox promise fun, creativity, and connection, but for millions of kids, those promises are breaking. In this episode of Facing in the Dark, Wayne Stender and Dr. Kathy Koch unpack the rise of digital gaming and the dangers hidden behind "safe" online play. From lawsuits and predatory risks to the loss of imagination, they contrast artificial worlds with the kind of real play God designed to shape hearts, build courage, and foster identity. Drawing on the story of David's childhood play and its role in forming his bravery, Dr. Kathy reminds us that kids don't just need entertainment; they need formation. Discover why parents stepping in to set boundaries isn't control; it's love, and how playing together as families restores joy, resilience, and faith in a distracted age.

Meta hoeft WhatsApp en Instagram niet te verkopen of te reorganiseren. Dat heeft de Amerikaanse rechter geoordeeld in een zaak die werd aangespannen door de Amerikaanse marktwaakhond, de Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Die meende dat Meta bewust Instagram en WhatsApp had overgenomen om opkomende concurrenten de kop in te drukken. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Een voorwaarde voor de FTC om gelijk te krijgen, was dat Meta ook vandaag de dag een monopolie met social media zou hebben. Daar is volgens de rechter geen sprake van, omdat platformen als TikTok en YouTube voldoende concurreren tegen de platformen van Meta. De FTC spande de zaak tegen Meta in 2020 al aan, maar werd toen afgewezen door de rechter omdat er niet genoeg bewijslast was. Toen de zaak in 2022 opnieuw werd aangespannen was daar wel sprake van. De eerste zitting begon eerder dit jaar en dinsdagavond Nederlandse tijd volgde de uitspraak. Verder in deze Tech Update: Het kabinet reageert positief op de maatregel van Roblox waardoor gebruikers hun leeftijd verplicht moeten verifiëren als ze willen chatten met elkaar, maar vraagt zicht tegelijkertijd af of het de oplossing is voor de problemen op het platform Op WhatsApp kan je nu chatten met gebruikers van andere berichtendiensten See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tom Cruise was chatting up Sydney Sweeney at the Governors Awards, but she's with a dude named Scooter! Real Christmas trees are in trouble. Are we using too much butter? Definitely not. It's the time of year for family and food traditions - to each their own. Ariana Grande hints at a third Wicked movie.

A 2nd hand doobie smoke turns around a whole flight. Vinnie's telling the hang about a potato bed hack, and it reminds Bob of Burning Man. The conversation gets interesting from there. Death is not an option: Caterpillar or frat boy sheets. Let's talk about some successful stars who ARE self made: Viola Davis, Selena Gomez, and Cardi B. Just because they are self made doesn't mean Vinnie likes them. The live action ‘Moana' trailer is here! Childless? AI can help! Maybe it's better to have pretend kids. San Francisco needs to step up its sins. Ronnie Wood (of The Rolling Stones) makes art that's inspiring in an unusual way. There's so many ways to embrace going gray, but Vinnie doesn't want to be Santa Claus. Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany Mahomes are not good artists, but it's probably not the reason their relationship is on the rocks. Weird Al has announced a tour! Don't forget to watch ‘Planes, Trains, & Automobiles' for Bob's Movie Club! Vinnie's got a disturbing story about a real life Black Mirror episode. Plus, how old is that guy?

How did a popular children's game become rife with sexual abuse?In the debut episode of The Capitol Forum Investigates, technology and privacy reporter Ethan Ehrenhaft explains why the video game maker Roblox is mired in dozens of lawsuits related to child safety on their platform, and how an investigation from The Capitol Forum revealed the vast safety flaws on Roblox's platform, which several lawsuits argue enables sexual predators to easily abuse children.To learn more about The Capitol Forum and our journalism click hereIf you are interested in working at The Capitol Forum or have a pitch for a story contact us here

It's full-on dad mode: both households hand out no-game punishments after kids try to sneak Roblox and skip chores, sparking a conversation about clear consequences, consistency, and what it means when your kids don't even argue the punishment - because they know the rules.   On the gaming front, Steam drops a bomb with three new hardware announcements:   A redesigned Steam Controller built from Steam Deck learnings The tiny Steam “Machine” console promising 4K living room gaming and killer value versus PS5/Switch The Steam Frame VR headset, aiming to shake up Meta's dominance and revive PC VR excitement     Jeff breaks down why the new controller's trackpads are a quiet superpower for strategy and mouse-heavy games, how the Steam Machine could finally make PC libraries living-room friendly for dads, and whether the Steam Frame has enough going for it to tempt lapsed VR users. Plus: Jeff's patience on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 pays off in a big “all DLC included” edition, and the guys argue over which of these toys is actually for the kids… and which are clearly future dad presents.   If you're a gaming father trying to balance kid punishments, chore charts, shrinking free time, and a dangerous interest in new hardware, this one's for you.  

Roblox is rolling out facial age checks on a voluntary basis, allowing users to share a photo or video of their face to verify their age. The company's CEO, David Baszucki, says age-verification will rely on more than just images and video to confirm users' ages, using "a bunch of other signals" in addition to facial age estimation. He speaks with Bloomberg's Caroline Hyde. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ruim 2 miljoen Nederlandse kinderen moeten vanaf volgende maand hun leeftijd gaan verifiëren op het spelplatform Roblox als ze willen chatten met andere gebruikers. Dat heeft het platform zelf aangekondigd, mede naar aanleiding van meerdere onderzoeken waaruit blijkt dat Roblox een 'paradijs voor pedofielen' is. Niels Kooloos vertelt er samen met mediapedagoog Harry Hol van Bureau Jeugd en Media over in deze Tech Update. Zelf heeft Roblox altijd ontkend dat er veel misbruik op het platform plaatsvindt. Toch zegt het bedrijf ook dat leeftijdsverificatie belangrijk is om een veilige omgeving te creëeren. Om dat te doen moeten gebruikers in Nederland, Australië en Nieuw-Zeeland vanaf december via de Roblox-app een scan van hun gezicht maken, waarmee een algoritme hun leeftijd inschat. Gebruikers in andere landen krijgen volgend jaar pas te maken met verplichte leeftijdsverificatie. Op basis van de gezichtsscan worden gebruikers in leeftijdsgroepen ingedeeld die alleen met elkaar kunnen chatten en met aangrenzende leeftijdsgroepen. Zo zou een 12-jarige bijvoorbeeld enkel met jongere gebruikers kunnen chatten en hooguit met 15-jarige gebruikers. Volgens mediapedagoog Harry Hol van Bureau Jeugd en Media is de maatregel van Roblox geen oplossing voor de problemen op het platform. 'Ik kan zo twaalf manieren bedenken om de controle te omzeilen.' Hol benadrukt dat het belangrijker is dat ouders met hun kinderen praten over hoe ze online omgaan met vreemden en dat er open over gepraat kan worden als het fout gaat.

Ist das Internet ein barrierearmer Raum? Wie wichtig sind Alt-Texte? Und wie können wir uns inklusiv in einem Raum bewegen, der zusehends stärker auf Videos setzt - also darauf, per se weniger barrierearm zu sein? Außerdem gibt's altes Vine in neuen Schläuchen, neues von X, Roblox und der ewigen Frage: Benutzt jemand LinkedIn freiwillig?

A Florida man is arrested for soliciting a child through Roblox, exposing the dark side of online gaming. Patrick Bet-David and the panel break down how predators exploit kids on platforms like Roblox, Fortnite, and Discord, and why parents, and not just tech companies, must step up and protect them.

On this week's Have a Seat with Chris Hansen, victim-turned advocate and YouTuber “Schlep” joins Chris to update him and viewers on his continued fight for increased security measures on the Roblox platform. Schlep reveals that he's learned of more predators on the gaming platform, and that more victims have come forward to report criminal activity. The two also dive into Attorney Generals that are filing lawsuits against Roblox for crimes against children, that a high-ranking Roblox executive reached out to Schlep behind his attorney's backs, and reveal and question why the CEO of Roblox blocked Schlep on X/Twitter! Roblox, the on-line virtual universe played by millions around the world, has been at the center of criticism of what some consider their lax security measures surrounding potential child predators in and off the game. Both Hansen and Schlep are at the forefront of raising awareness of the widely-popular game that could have your children vulnerable to predators. If you are one of the millions of people that have been following this story, it's an episode of Have a Seat with Chris Hansen you won't want to miss.

This episode proves that nothing gold can stay, especially your 401k, as we kick things off with the revelation that October saw the worst tech layoffs since 2003, all while "Big Short" genius Michael Burry decided to bet a billion dollars on the inevitable AI bubble bursting. The villains of the week are legion: the FCC is officially making it easier for internet companies to charge us even more hidden fees; Elon Musk not only got his $1 trillion pay package approved—despite Tesla sales collapsing nearly 90% in some countries—but he also teased a flying car, clearly living in his own "Golden Dome" fantasy, which the Pentagon is happily subsidizing; and in a stunning display of entitlement, Mark Zuckerberg opened an illegal school, which is somehow less shocking than Meta's claim that their massive porn stash was purely for "personal use," not AI training. The bad news doesn't stop there, with Texas suing Roblox over 'pixel pedophiles,' though at least a rural Michigan healthcare system is doing some good by using drones to improve care.Jumping over to Media Candy, since we're all emotionally scarred by the sheer awful-ness of The Witcher S4—a season so bad it "broke" The Critical Drinker—we need some comfort viewing. We're deep-diving into the political chess of The Diplomat and escaping into the sheer volume of competitive cooking shows, including the standard Halloween and Holiday Baking Championships, plus the delightfully ridiculous Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking S2; we also took a look at Pluribus, Knife Edge, Black Rabbit, and the trailer for Tron: Ares, while cheering the fact that Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are set to revive The Mummy franchise for a fourth film. In Apps & Doodads, we're all mourning the eventual death of simple, good tech as we're warned to enjoy Apple CarPlay while we still can, but at least the Lego ‘Star Trek' Set is finally here for our inner child; the real question, though, is why Automattic Inc. thinks they can claim ownership of the actual word 'Automatic.'Finally, The Dark Side with Dave Bittner reminds us that everything old is new again and ripe for monetization, whether it's Miss Piggy potentially bringing back The Muppets to the movies or the sleek, blacked-out remake of the Commodore 64, not to mention that cool Tron Arcade Cabinet Miniature Model. However, the present is still a complete dumpster fire: a Google AI model allegedly accused a senator of sexual assault, and internal documents show that Meta is earning a fortune on a massive deluge of fraudulent ads, proving that the only thing getting healthier is our paranoia, though Dave did throw in a curveball with some special jar lids and seeds for growing organic sprouts. We finish, as always, with the obligatory Closing Shout-Outs because even cynical geeks need validation.Sponsors:MasterClass - Get an additional 15% off any annual membership at MASTERCLASS.com/GRUMPYOLDGEEKSGusto - Try Gusto today at gusto.com/grumpy, and get three months free when you run your first payroll.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.
