![]() A massively popular online children’s video game has been labelled a “paedophile hellscape” by a notorious US investment firm, wiping billions off the company’s value. Hindenburg Research, one of Wall Street’s best known short sellers, claimed that users of Roblox were openly trading child abuse images and alleged it had found hundreds of accounts named after Jeffrey Epstein. The investment firm claimed young users were exposed to grooming, pornography and violence, and that safety was being compromised in an attempt to boost profits. It said there were no age controls on chat rooms dedicated to adult materials. “We found Roblox to be an X-rated paedophile hellscape, replete with users attempting to groom our avatars, groups openly trading child pornography, widely accessible sex games, violent content and extremely abusive speech – all of which is open to young children and all while Roblox has cut content moderation spending to appease Wall Street and boost earnings,” Hindenburg said. Roblox is one of the world’s most popular video games and the majority of its 80m daily users are 16 or under, with one in five under nine years old. The average user plays the game for 2.5 hours a day, according to Roblox’s own figures. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business...cape-children/ |
