Family IT Guy Podcast - A podcast by Family IT Guy

David Baszucki: Millions of kids play Roblox daily, but there's a critical safety gap only you can fix.Parents watching: I'm addressing Roblox's CEO directly, but need your help amplifying this message. Every share brings us closer to change.David, I've been publicly critical of Roblox - not from malice, but from concern. As a cybersecurity professional with 30 years experience (including NSA) and a father, I see a clear solution: whitelist parental controls.THE PROBLEM:The Roblox platform has millions of user-created games that change daily. Parents cannot possibly review them all. We need what YouTube Kids already offers: "approved content only" mode.THE BUSINESS CASE:Yes, whitelist controls might reduce short-term engagement metrics. But long-term, you'll gain millions of parents who currently won't let their kids near Roblox. Lead the industry. Transform negative press into positive coverage. Show that child safety and business success aren't mutually exclusive.THE ASK:Implement whitelist features allowing parents to:- Approve specific games before access- Approve trusted developers- Control content exposure proactively, not reactivelyDavid, be the CEO who chose children's safety over engagement metrics. I'll be first to celebrate your leadership.Parents: Share this with #RobloxWhitelist. Email Roblox support. Send to your school groups. Your voice matters.
