00:00To me, the metaverse is everything.
00:02It's a universe.
00:04It's an extension of me.
00:06It gives us access to another world.
00:08You have the freedom to interact with other people
00:11as if you have, like, your own new life.
00:14I'd like to pretend it is a perfect universe, but it's not.
00:17The metaverse is just a breeding ground of problems.
00:23You have Minecraft.
00:24Minecraft, whatever I want to do with my imagination, I can do it.
00:28You have Roblox.
00:29I love Roblox.
00:30Roblox was designed as a platform for kids to make games for other kids.
00:35Anybody can just open Roblox Studio for free and just start making things.
00:39There are millions and millions of games.
00:42Truly, they are immersive worlds.
00:44We're spending so much time in these spaces and it's shaping the way we see the world.
00:51I started noticing kids being lured by adults and I'm like, whoa, that's not okay.
00:56Grooming, child sexual grooming, one infringement every seven minutes.
01:01A video game that's popular with children is being trolled by neo-Nazi extremists.
01:06At least 10 people have been shot and killed.
01:09The suspect may have consumed white supremacist ideology online.
01:12It felt like they wanted to kill me.
01:15Someone from Roblox kidnapped a child.
01:18He started like messaging me and the big thing was rape.
01:23Right now police are searching for a missing team.
01:25You know, it's not an accident that someone who has a sexual interest in children
01:29is hanging out on Roblox.
01:30It just scares me knowing that that could have been me.
01:34I feel the need to take matters into my own hands.
01:36We need to figure out how we can fix this.
01:41Our lawsuit is about holding Roblox accountable.
01:44It needs to change.
01:45The tech companies do not care.
01:46Thank you for calling Roblox.
01:48If we don't band together, no one else will.
01:51We need to save the metaverse.
01:53If we don't act now, it's only going to get worse.
