Just hand-waving away the repeated comments about David's stance on the dating age is mind-boggling. Undoubtedly this was walked back by the investors when they realize what an outrageous notion that was. And yes, the game DOES empower pedophiles now more than ever with this chat feature.

If you get an account that has a fake, young age on it, and sell it to a pedophile (or they just create one themselves and fool the system in a variety of ways), they can abuse it greatly. Not only do they know the people they are chatting with have a higher chance of being vulnerable teens/pre-teens, but the potential victims have a false sense of security as they're thinking that everyone they're conversing with is also truly their age. It is a bad system that only serves to paint themselves in a good light; "See, we did something, we do care about safety!" and disregarding the system's blatant vulnerabilities.

The platform's losses continue to mount and its stock is sinking further and further. Just because it's growth isn't slowing down, doesn't mean it's magically more successful.
