Roblox je uklonio igru koja je simulirala pucnjavu u školi Robb Elementary u Uvaldeu nakon pritiska iz Teksasa i naredbe za istragu. Sporni sadržaj je, kako je kompanija potvrdila, uklonjen sa platforme, a autori takvog sadržaja bivaju zabranjeni po otkrivanju.
Izjava kompanije: Matt Kaufman, direktor bezbednosti u Robloxu, izjavio je za USA TODAY 21. aprila da kompaniju zabrinjava svako glorifikovanje tragedije u Uvaldeu i da je sadržaj uklonjen. „Ponašanja koja promovišu nasilni ekstremizam i prikazi osetljivih stvarnih događaja su protiv naših pravila, koja neumorno sprovodimo“, naveo je Kaufman.
„Sadržaj na koji je ukazao predsednik Zastupničkog doma Teksasa uklonjen je, a korisnici koji učitavaju takav sadržaj odmah bivaju zabranjeni po otkrivanju.“
Mere bezbednosti: Roblox je opisao višeslojni sistem zaštite koji uključuje detekciju zasnovanu na veštačkoj inteligenciji, timove za nadzor, 24/7 moderaciju i alate za prijavu korisnika. Među navedenim merama su:
- Obavezne provere starosti i ograničenje komunikacije mlađih korisnika na vršnjake.
- Isključeni chat za decu mlađu od devet godina.
- Novi tipovi naloga — Roblox Kids i Roblox Select — koji ograničavaju korisnike mlađe od 16 godina na sadržaje primerene uzrastu.
Reakcija Teksasa: Manje od 24 sata nakon što je predstavnik Don McLaughlin iz Uvaldea upozorio na igru, predsednik Zastupničkog doma Teksasa Dustin Burrows naložio je da se formira odbor koji će ispitati kako onlajn platforme izlažu maloletnike nasilnom, seksualnom i predatorskom sadržaju i kako država može odgovoriti.
Burrows je zatražio da odbor proveri rad roditeljskih kontrola i filtera za chat, proceni da li platforme stavljaju korisničko iskustvo ispred bezbednosti, ispita zakonodavstvo o verifikaciji starosti i roditeljskom pristanku, kao i potencijalnu građansku i krivičnu odgovornost developera sadržaja. Posebno je naglašena i analiza zaštite platformi od tužbi na osnovu Prvog amandmana i Sekcije 230 Zakona o komunikacionoj pristojnosti (Communications Decency Act).
Dodatni kontekst: Pretraga sadržaja u izveštaju uredništva predsednika doma ukazala je da su na platformi postojale i simulacije drugih masovnih pucnjava, uključujući Kolimbajn (1999) i Parkland (2018). Roblox ima oko 144 miliona dnevnih korisnika, od kojih je, kako je navedeno, skoro 40% mlađe od 13 godina.
