SEC Confirms Game Service Roblox Part of 'Active Investigation
Agency withholds details, saying release may harm efforts
Company has faced questions about its reported player data
Responding to a Freedom of Information Act request, the commission said in a letter Friday that it couldn't share correspondence between staffers referencing Roblox, saying it could cause "harm to the ongoing enforcement proceeding."
"We have confirmed with Division of Enforcement staff that there are responsive emails between Enforcement staff referencing Roblox and that these emails are a part of an active and ongoing investigation," the commission said.
Bloomberg News couldn't confirm the subject of the investigation. Roblox didn't respond to requests for comment, and the SEC declined to make any additional comment.
Hunterbrook Media reported in November that Roblox was under investigation by the SEC, citing Freedom of Information Act requests. Hunterbrook cited an October letter from the commission saying it was withholding documents "which could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement activities." Its affiliate, Hunterbrook Capital, had a short position in the shares.
In October, the now-defunct short-seller Hindenburg Research published a report on child-safety concerns at Roblox and also alleged that the company had inflated its metrics, including the number of users who regularly play Roblox games and the amount of time they spend on average on the platform....
The video-game company has faced scrutiny over children's safety on the platform. Since 2018, At least two dozen people have been arrested by police in the US, accused of abusing or abducting victims they'd met or groomed using Roblox, Bloomberg News reported in July.
Shares of Roblox fell 11% on Thursday after the company reported slower-than-expected growth in daily users of its service. It reported 85.3 million active users as of year end.

stolen from reddit:
Final standings:
1 - Vincent Keymer: He was unimpressive at Tata Steel and was nothing special in the round robin either, but in the classical portion of this tournament, he was a different player altogether. First beat Alireza, then Magnus, then Fabiano. Never looked in trouble against any of them outside of a couple of moments in the second game against Magnus. A very deserving winner, since he was clearly the best player in the classical.
2 - Fabiano Caruana: From leading for most of the round robin and eventually finishing 3rd there, and then convincingly beating world champion Gukesh 2-0 in the quarter-finals, there was never a moment when he looked out of touch. He had nothing for Vincent in the finals, but it was a really good event overall.
3 - Magnus Carlsen: For Magnus, any event where he doesn't win is a disappointing result. That said, outside of the first day in the round robin, he played really good chess throughout, scoring 3.5/4 on the second day and beating Nodirbek and Sindarov 2-0. Just like Fabiano, he also came up short against an inspired Vincent, and because he met the latter in the semi-finals he had to settle for 3rd.
4 - Javokhir Sindarov: In what could be his big breakout event, he was dominant for most of the round robin, only finishing 2nd there due to losing in the last round. Showed incredible resistance and tenacity to beat Hikaru after bravely picking him, and was incredibly close to getting to the finals. 4th after such a run must feel disappointing for him, but he has a lot to be proud of.
5 - Hikaru Nakamura: His tournament was similar to Magnus, outside of the first day he generally played really good chess, starting off by scoring 3.5/4 on the second day. A couple of critical mistakes in time trouble against Sindarov meant he lost his quarter-final match, and despite convincingly winning against Gukesh and demolishing Nodirbek, that put him in a situation where he couldn't go any higher than 5th.
6 - Nodirbek Abdusattorov: Not exactly a tournament to write home about for him. Was not convincing in the round robin, sneaking through in the final spot. Got demolished by both Magnus and Hikaru in the knockout phase, but swindling Alireza in between those matches was able to help him get to 6th.
7 - Alireza Firouzja: After winning the round robin with 6.5 points, the classical portion just did not work out for him. From being outplayed by Vincent in the first match, he also lost out against Nodirbek after initially having a winning position. He did win the 7th place match against Gukesh (after again blowing a winning position in the first game of that match), but that is a very underwhelming end after such a promising start.
8 - Gukesh Dommaraju: He showed amazing defensive resilience to draw a lot of worse positions in both the round robin and the knockouts, but the fact that he consistently got into them was a disappointment. And being the only winless player in the tournament. Exhaustion from Tata Steel and world championship combined with being less experienced in Freestyle than the others definitely played a part in his performance.
9 - Levon Aronian: The round robin was a disaster, and as a result he was not able to make it to the knockouts. Being the oldest player did not help his chances considering the round robin was with rapid time controls. He did smoothly win the 9th place match against Fedoseev in classical to avoid last.
10 - Vladimir Fedoseev: He has a reputation of being a streaky player who can go on a big run but is also prone to tilt. The 0/4 start in the round robin pretty much put him in a position where qualifying was difficult, and despite two wins later on including one against Magnus, he missed out by half a point. Lost the 9th place match against Levon who played a lot better in that match than he ever did in the round robin.

I remember when I first joined it was kind of cheeky and irreverent, and it still seemed plausible that women posted here. But it's become progressively more shallow and heartless. I mean I can't be the only one picking up on this, right? "The worst thing about DOGE is how soy it all is"? We can't just express outrage at immorality anymore, every criticism must be given through the lens of haughty indifference and framed around coolness or lack thereof. I think some people here have genuinely replaced their concept of wrong and right with cringe/not cringe and never stopped to consider how cruel and purposeless it could make them.

Quick question did you ever listen to the pod? Like even one clip or so?
People actually listen to Rspod?!
Gooooood, for the 100,000th time - this is a unique sub and one of the only decent culture/current events subs on reddit, the podcast sucks shit so most people here either never listened or stopped listening in 2019 (me). I used to like A&D but in the last five years one became a Fox News dork and the other is hawking a shit coin, they've changed. That being said, what drew me to them and this sub in the first place was their critique/thoughts on the overly woke/grifter left and establishment liberals. What I and many didn't know back in 2018 was A&D are insecure dorks who just adopt whatever ideology they currently find chic/edgy, and as soon as Bernie/progressive politics became boring they moved onto the next thing. But a lot of us here have beliefs based on morality/ethics/what we find to be true, so here we are
Tldr: "I have never and will never engage with the content this sub is about but here's how it should be run."
Anyways I thought this was a fun thread. The commenters even got OP to self delete out of shame.

Well Al Jazeera doubled down, had @YouTube remove the video and my channel got a strike. The footage they claimed ownership of was recorded, edited and published by Hamas. I, as well as Al Jazeera and others, then used that to show and discuss the hostage handoff. pic.twitter.com/3BQGrJKiQM
