Attorneys say the child waived her rights by agreeing to Roblox’s “Terms of Service” at least 28 times.
I am from Kentucky and just saw this, thought it would be worth sharing on Lemmy. Feel free to crosspost wherever you see fit, it would be nice to at least spread awareness for the situation.
Of course they will try that tack, the question is will the judge go along with it. Needless to say an 8 year old cannot waive their rights, it would make nonsense of consent law.
Focusing on the 8 year old is disingenuous. The news reports do that because it gets more clicks. But in this case, the mother also made an account for herself, also agreed to all their terms, set her account up as a parent account for her child’s account, and then explicitly disabled the safeguards like the child not being able to chat. What the 8 year old did doesn’t matter.
