Someone is recreating real rabies as in Christchurch in Children Roblox game

For children, the Roblox game platform will be something like the new Minecraft in 2021. Investors and shareholders have raised the value of the company behind Roblox to more than 44,000 million dollars. But the creativity that allows the game acquires perverse features when people in Roblox suddenly recreate rabies as Christchurch.

What is ROBLOX? ROBLOX is less a game and more a platform for online games in which users can create and play their own computer games.

The platform exists for PC since 2006, then reached mobile devices and, more recently, Xbox. Roblox has won a tremendous impulse in the last five years and now it is a great thing, especially for many children and their parents, who are constantly being hit with Robux, the real money currency of the game.

The OPI of March 10, 2021 provided an additional impulse. The company has achieved extremely high market funding of more than 44 billion US dollars: investors believe in the future of the company.

Roblox has been a great social network for children from Crown, but these hazards accelerate

And that on a platform for very young children

Now that is a problem : An investigator of the anti-defamation league addressed the American magazine The Verge and revealed that the scenes of terrible riots are being recreated in Roblox. Every time he looks for it in Roblox, he finds it:

  • In January 2020
  • In May 2021
  • And more recently, on August 13, 2021, he found such locations in Roblox:

I just want to look for Christchurch in Roblox once and not see a new production of the 2019 The riot of the Christchurch Mosque and that on a playing platform for very young children.

The US website The Verge confirms the discovery of the researcher. It is said that a simple search of text resulted in two of these replicas in the game, both rooms were visited by more than two hundred people.

More than 50 people died at Christchurch's uproar in 2019. It is considered one of the most terrible religious hate acts of recent years.

This is how ROBLOX responds: When asked, they said they immediately removed the rooms and threw the creators. Do not tolerate racism, discrimination or allusions to tragic facts. You have a rigorous system to monitor it.

But apparently Roblox goes through something like that again and again. Because you can not just block Christchurch, after all, it is a real city in New Zealand. Therefore, it is important that not everything is automated, but also includes people in the process of moderation.

What is the problem? Roblox seems to have grown so much and so fast that moderation can not keep up with the speed at which users bring new content to the game.

For Roblox it will be a decisive factor in the coming years if they can allow their infrastructure to grow with the avalanche of players. It was precisely the ability to offer a safe platform for all that was identified as a risk factor even during IPA.

Roblox has 100 million players a month, even more than Minecraft, but why?
