“six-seven” has taken over elementary and middle schools in America. It’s everywhere. Here’s a clip from a recent south park episode with six-seven. And here’s a recent xkcd: And here’s a six-seven character from Roblox: Be thankful if you aren’t around kids constantly shouting “six-seven!” at each other and laughing.
Nu gameplatform Roblox langzaam Facebook-achtige proporties aan begint te nemen, merkt de veiligheidschef van het bedrijf dat de buitenwereld steeds betere veiligheidsmaatregelen eist. „We willen ons juist aan hogere eisen houden dan alle andere bedrijven.”
A new video from the YouTuber MegaLag has accused PayPal’s Honey app of exploiting businesses and targeting minors. It follows on from a previous MegaLag video which nuked Honey’s popularity and led to several lawsuits against the company. Bitter Honey Honey is a browser extension which finds discount codes for online stores. MegaLag first exposed Honey back in 2024. MegaLag highlights in his latest video that his first investigation led to Google Chrome cracking down on extensions, as Mashable reported in March: MegaLag’s video also highlighted that Honey inserted its affiliate link even if it had not discovered a relevant active coupon code. In addition, Honey would also replace an existing affiliate link, or where the shopper’s purchase actually originated from, with its own in order to be credited for the sale. While Honey users were incensed over Honey’s affiliate link tactics, the move actually hurt content creators. YouTubers and other creators often recommend products, and their fans make their purchase through the creator’s affiliate link to help support them. Affiliate sales can often make up a substantial portion of a creator’s revenue. Honey was essentially stealing those sales from creators. MegaLag also talks about how Honey is allegedly hurting businesses. Honey claims it only adds discount codes to its library after seeking permission from the user who used the code. What this means is that if you have Honey installed and you enter a code it doesn’t recognise, the extension asks for your permission to disseminate it. MegaLag is now alleging Honey takes these discount codes whether they receive approval or not. So why is this a problem? While it means more discounts for users, it can hurt small businesses. Not all discount codes are intended for the wider public, with some existing for employees, refunds, targeted promotions, etc. In some instances, MegaLag says Honey promoted codes which gave 100% discounts. When businesses contact Honey, several say Honey was unhelpful when they asked it to remove them from the database. Even worse, several claim (with email evidence) that Honey said it would only remove them if they signed up to be a paying affiliate. Creator promotions Some of the discount codes in question were used as part of advertisement promotions. The idea was that podcasters and YouTubers would give out the code, and then businesses would track how many people used it so they could pay the creator accordingly. This model no longer works for small businesses, because they simply can’t track who’s using the code as a result of the promotion, and who got it from extensions like Honey. Consequently, there are fewer advertisers supporting creators. MegaLag says Honey is ‘clearly targeting minors’ by working with creators who produce content related to Minecraft, Roblox, and cartoons (not to mention Mr Beast). Backing up his point, he draws attention to a content creator they sponsored who was only 14-years-old. Brazenly, one of her sponsored videos was titled Back to School. This is all especially problematic as MegaLag further suggests Honey is at its core little more than a massive data harvesting operation. He additionally speculates that this is why PayPal spent $4bn snapping the company up. Honey isn’t the only potentially-problematic browser extension either: this Honey scandal is another great reminder that you should always be wary of installing browser extensions. They’re a huge privacy risk, especially if they have permission to read all your browsing behavior https://t.co/tfjIdfsNTZ — Tom Warren (@tomwarren) December 22, 2025 MegaLag ends by drawing attention to his own extension – Cookie Guard – which alerts users to dodgy activities going on in their browser (available here in Chrome). Part three of MegaLag’s series is coming soon, and will reportedly contain accusations of criminal activity on the part of Honey.

To get items in Roblox for a relative, I used to pretend to be a child and find users who would groom me. They were entirely unaware that I was quite probably older than they were. I saved hundreds of dollars on gifts, and it didn’t cost me all that much time. Roblox is not safe for kids
Simon Gutierrez, a 17-year-old high school student who organized yesterday’s Roblox protest against ICE, said that he wanted to attend the IRL “No Kings” protests this past weekend, but his older sister said no. So he staged a protest on Roblox to allow other young people to make their voices heard. “A lot of young people really want to protest and put their words and beliefs out there but are unable to, so this is the only thing we can turn to,” Gutierrez said. The ICE protests in Roblox have primarily taken place in Brookhaven, a massively multiplayer role‑playing experience on Roblox. The experience’s name is based on the real city of Brookhaven, GA, where offline ICE raids and protests are also taking place. Last Thursday, police arrested six peopleinvolved in anti-ICE protests in the IRL Brookhaven.

It also begs the question of why Brian specifically? Why not Witty too? Why not wait till the meeting was over and roblox a whole fucking cabal of CEOs? uhhh that’d be way too risky, dude if that’s too risky, why did he pull his mask down to flirt with a woman mid-crime lol
Minecraft seems like the obvious choice for kids who liked Roblox. Terraria is another. If they can only play on a server that one of them hosts, then no need to worry about outside users. Good on you and the other parents for getting that shit out of there, kids don’t need addiction machines trying to pressure them into spending money.
if my mom dies of coverage denial from an insurance company, do I play minecraft with the networth $50M petit-CEO or wait 2 hours for the meeting to be over and roblox the networth $800M executive chairman?
i clicked on that abuses of child developers link and am now very sad about all the fond memories i have had with early roblox… imagine roblox but open source and run by cool people ;-;
Did catgirl Riley cheat at a videogame, or is she just that good? Detective Karl Jobst is on the case. Are the critics from platform One True King (OTK), like Asmongold and Tectone, correct in their analysis of Riley’s gameplay? Or are they just haters who can’t stand how good she is? Bonus appearance from Tommy Tallarico. Content warning: Quite a bit of transmisogyny. Asmongold and Tectone are both transphobes who say multiple slurs and constantly misgender Riley, and their Twitch chats also are filled with slurs. Jobst does not endorse anything that they say, but he also quotes their videos and screenshots directly. ::: spoiler too long, didn’t watch This video is a takedown of an AI slop channel, “Call of Shame”. As hinted, this is something of a ROBLOX_OOF.mp3 essay, where it’s not just about the cryptofascists pushing the culture war by attacking a trans person, but about one specific rabbit hole surrounding one person who has made many misleading claims. Just like how ROBLOX_OOF.mp3 permanently hobbled Tallarico’s career, it seems that Call of Shame has pivoted twice and turned to evangelizing Christianity instead as a result of this video’s release. :::
The arrested Roblox developer was later identified as Mikhail Jacob Olson, also known as Simbuilder. Per the Chronicle, Olson was taken in (and later charged) for having a concealed firearm in his vehicle, along with “possession of armor-piercing munition and a large capacity magazine activity.” Fuck, the dude was ready to commit mass murder. Anyone got more details on him and/or why he might have wanted to kill people there?

As a long time gamer, playing Roblox with my niece made me feel old for the first time. I have no idea why the hell kids play that game so much outside of the social media aspect with their friends. It really seems like they are tapping into the addictions of children. I’ve wasted money on game DLC before, but the amount of crap kids buy on Roblox is insane. I don’t think parents really know what they are giving them when they buy gift cards for it. If it makes them happy, okay fine, but I really think it’s something psychological that the company is taking advantage of. Rant over. I agree with everyone else. Something is about to go down. I hope they all take severance and leave. Three days is still better than what I get… which is like 20 WFH days a year… but ultimatums are never a good sign.
