Discord gets sued for allegedly violating child safety laws

The state of New Jersey has filed suit against Discord claiming the company engaged in “deceptive and unconscionable business practices” that put children at risk. The suit was filed Thursday and alleges the popular messaging app of not doing enough to keep its youngest users safe from predators and violent content. Here’s a link to the complaint. The suit claims that Discord’s existing protections for children are either inadequate or are easy to circumvent. For example, while Discord prohibits users under the age of 13 from making an account, it does nothing to verify users are the age they claim. “All Discord does to verify a new user’s age is require the user to enter a birthdate — meaning any 8-year-old can access the application merely by saying they are 13,“ the lawsuit reads. Additionally, Discord has settings that will filter messages based on the sender. However by default, the the app lets any message from a user’s friends get through without being scanned. This feature, the lawsuit claims, when combined with the ability to receive friend requests from anyone, permits children to receive inappropriate messages. Discord has been sued before for allegedly not taking enough steps to protect its youngest users. This suit from the New Jersey attorney general represents the first state action taken against the app and is one of several legal actions taken against large gaming-centric platforms centered on protecting children from exploitation, violence, and sexual content. Discord has recently implemented an experimental pilot program that scans a user’s face or ID in order to access sensitive content in accordance with local child safety laws in the UK and Australia. In an email to The Verge, Discord spokesperson Jillian Susi wrote, “Discord is proud of our continuous efforts and investments in features and tools that help make Discord safer. Given our engagement with the Attorney General’s office, we are surprised by the announcement that New Jersey has filed an action against Discord today. We dispute the claims in the lawsuit and look forward to defending the action in court.” From The Verge via this RSS feed

Risks to children playing Roblox ‘deeply disturbing’, say researchers

Revealing Reality created multiple Roblox accounts, registering them to fictional users aged five, nine, 10, 13 and 40-plus. The accounts interacted only with one another, and not with users outside the experiment, to ensure their avatars’ behaviours were not influenced in any way. Despite new tools launched last week aimed at giving parents more control over their children’s accounts, the researchers concluded: “Safety controls that exist are limited in their effectiveness and there are still significant risks for children on the platform.” The report found that children as young as five were able to communicate with adults while playing games on the platform, and found examples of adults and children interacting with no effective age verification. This was despite Roblox changing its settings last November so that accounts listed as belonging to under-13s can no longer directly message others outside of games or experiences, instead having access only to public broadcast messages.

The Tomb Raider board game will let you shoot dogs over the kitchen table at last

Board game publishers may be lamenting the end of the tabletop boom—the golden age of board gaming that has filled my weeknights with games like The Quacks of Quedlinburg and Darktide—but I don’t expect the industry to topple overnight. Middle-class Catan bros will choke down a lot of price hikes to get their cardboard fix, and Kickstarters for expensive boxes of fancy plastic are probably here to stay for a while yet. Like, for example, the upcoming board game Tomb Raider: The Crypt of Chronos, launching on Kickstarter next month. In this game for one or more players, renowned animal-murderer Lara Croft searches the island of Kairos for “an artifact said to hold the reins of time” that will definitely not unleash a supernatural disaster when uncovered. It sounds kind of like Citizen Sleeper in that Lara has a pool of dice that can be assigned to different actions each turn, like exploration and crafting. How does crafting work in a board game? I assume it’s as abstract as it is in most videogames. Maybe you have to kill and skin the bear to make Lara’s sweet bomber jacket. The bear is apparently a boss enemy that is able to regenerate, while the standard enemies are gun-toting mercenaries sent by Natla Tech who are after the artifact for nefarious ends. Also, there’s Roman legionnaires and Lara’s ancient enemy, some dogs. All are represented in lovingly detailed plastic, though they’re standing on too many tactical rocks for my liking. Almost every base seems to include a fallen pillar and/or a small mine’s worth of ore so the character can dramatically pose with one leg raised. Apparently Tomb Raider: The Crypt of Chronos will have two modes of play, with Adventure Book Mode as a series of 20–60-minute story missions while Campaign Mode is a kind of open-world free roam through random locations, a full campaign of which will take roughly three hours to complete. This isn’t the first Tomb Raider board game, with Tomb Raider Legends pitting four classic-look Laras against each other several years ago. That was published by Square Enix, however, while Tomb Raider: The Crypt of Chronos is the work of licensee Iconiq Studios, previously responsible for tabletop games based on They Live and Saw, as well as a line of figurines based on characters from Silent Hill 2, Street Fighter 5, and so on. It’ll go live on Kickstarter on May 27.

is this actually fortnite???

Two main ways fortnite keeps the game “fresh” is adding new “skins” (player character appearance) and “emotes” (actions). They licensed the adventure time and spongebob characters as “skins” which players can earn or purchase. The adventure time characters appear to be doing a basic “hug emote”, which is one of several interactive emotes that, if one player does it, another player can reciprocate by approaching and engaging the emote. It looks like they’re making out because this emote was designed for basic skins, not specific to these skins. ~~I’m not sure if that’s just spongebob’s face or not, but I assume it’s an emote exclusively designed for that skin~~ (see Carl’s comment reply below) Edit: The primary game mechanic is third person shooter, though they’ve got several popular roleplay style game modes/options where folks just fuck around. It’s become kind of like roblox, in which it’s now a platform for game makers to make their own game and publish it for others to play

Hytale is OUT NOW in early access!

With zero user reviews of the EA, and no reviewer info out there at all. They already talk about taking a % fee from private servers and mod sales, and they are hyper-aggressive about moderation. This is targeting the roblox crowd by the looks of it’s aggressive focus on mtx/paid experiences while sidestepping publisher fees like steam.

Touching grass... makes things worse?

I’ve heard that younger zoomers and younger are very gender segregated in social interactions. Friend groups are more singular gendered, parties will have less mixed gender conversations, etc. It’s possible that boys with a more active social life means they actually disproportionately interact with other boys more, while the online ones may actually interact with girls more, especially since lots more girls are in popular younger online spaces now like Tiktok and Roblox
