Ethan Dallas was targeted by an adult sexual predator on Roblox when he was 12, and later on Discord, according to a lawsuit. He took his own life last year.
Maybe the first thing is that it’s just the predators fault and anything beyond that is bullshit. Gonna sue the company that made the PC too? Maybe the electric company for providing the electricity to it?
while i understand your approach, your ideas might not be enforceable.
what if the offender is located in some other country where there are no sexual offense laws? i’m not so sure on the details but such a location certainly exists. then you can’t really get them out of the way. but on the other hand, the internet has no real borders so they can still connect to the rest of the world.
essentially, some kind of content-warning system needs to be established for certain platforms that are not guaranteed clean. this might affect gaming platforms, such as roblox. either they implement better quality controls or they don’t get a “clean”-label.
parents can then set a checkbox that allows their children’s computer to only show “clean” content.
