Children can't legally sign contracts. What a monumentally stupid defense

They can, but they can break their end of the contract at any point. Because if that, nobody wants a contract with a child because it is a bad deal.

WTF is Roblox? It sounds like a brand of bleach. Why are you giving children bleach?

One of the most popular video games of all time, especially among children.

I've seen the word thrown around a lot in a few places and had to spend sometime searching wtf it was. I still don't really understand but the wikipedia is a good place to start.

Seems like somekind of Minecraft on steroids or something. Never really played that one either.

Now search for Roblox child exploitation on YouTube to watch a 30min dive that will make your soul weep. Whiskey optional.

The link isn't loading for me with the additional trackers. Can you replace it with the cleaned link?
