HOW TO PROTEST AGAINST ROBLOX'S NEW CHAT POLICY
As many of you likely know by now, Roblox has recently released a pretty awful update; one that requires users to submit images of their government ID and face to be scanned by an AI so that they can verify their age. If they do not do this, they will not be allowed to use the chat in games or talk to their friends. This is very bad for a variety of reasons, but I have a suggestion for anyone who wants to protest against this.
Hop on Roblox and go to the icon with three dots and the word "More" underneath it on the left of your screen. Click the box on the bottom left labeled with the words "Help And Safety." Once you do this, select the option "Help". Look at the bottom of the screen and click on the words "Contact Us". From there, you will be shown a screen that will ask you to fill out some information and check a few items from some drop down menus.
Put in your email, as it's a requirement. However, I'd advise that you refrain from putting in your first name or username. Confirm whichever device you're having the issue on. Click on the drop down under the phrase "Type Of Help Category" and select the option "Ideas & Suggestions". You will then be asked for a subcategory. Click "Feedback". Then, paste this into the large box below the words "Please Describe Your Issue":
"I am concerned with your new policy that deals in implementing age verification via the use of AI collecting data from players' photos and IDs. Not only are you making many of the games on your platform practically unplayable by disabling players' abilities to communicate with one another, you are also putting the minors that you claim to wish to protect in danger of sexual predators. The AI company that you are working with has been known to use the images they take of people in generated works of pornography without the consent of the individual in the image. This is a malicious act and will undoubtedly be committed upon the children who submit to this new law you have enforced. You are doing more harm than good. Repeal this ASAP"
(Paste without the quotation marks)
I know this may seem like a fruitless effort at begging a corporation to change their policies, and perhaps it will be if I end up being the only person to go through with it (which I already have), but there is power in numbers, and I truly believe that if several people submit this appeal, sign petitions, and boycott Roblox as much as possible until change happens, change very well may actually come.
So, as much as I don't normally like begging for attention, I highly request that everyone who sees this uses this method, reblogs this post, and tags any of their friends or mutuals who have accounts on Roblox. Spread the word, make your voices heard, and together we can all make a difference.

(I pretty much never make posts like this and this was admittedly quite impulsive/unplanned. If any information about the nature of this update is incorrect, please let me know and I will fix it ASAP.)
