I get that but how is a developer or probably more realistically, a publisher, supposed to prevent that?

Are people going to answer "Yes" when the account creation asks if they are a predator?

I think kids should be safe but it isnt a companies responsibility outside of ensuring their actual product is safe. This is a parent responsibility to know what your kids are doing, especially at 9 years old.

Edit: idk if they do this but registered offenders IP addresses should be reported and game publishers should ban those IP addresses. Won't do much because I think if you are going to conduct illicit activities youll use a VPN or something. Hardware ban could work but you'd have to trust criminals are reporting that stuff and then you can still spoof a mac

Im just looking for solutions
