    You know its good for kids if roblox is involved. That company puts every child coal mine of the past to shame with how well theyve managed to exploit kids.

    You mean censorship and espionage in the name of child safety?

    Because I’ve heard that one before… too many times.

    And it’s quite sus that this happens the first month of Trump’s office.

    No, I’m not buying it.

    I think it’s a fair point to wrinkle our noses at and scrutinize some if those companies, but we should evaluate the thing, not just who supports it. Many companies will support good efforts, just because it gives them good PR (or a tax write-off). We don’t know what kind of legwork the project founders did to persuade some of those big names (and they have a lot more than just those sponsors on their site.)

    That said, I also don’t see any codebase. What is there to inspect and validate? What is “open?” As far as I can tell, as of now, it’s just a $27mil effort with the concept of a plan.

    I have a 1000% working solution!

    You know that plug going to the wall? You just cut 2" off the chord. 2" is all it takes. My kids are no longer interested in staring at the screen all day long.
