Ughh. The selective enforcement is maddening, both with this and TikTok. So much of the filed complaint especially applies to Roblox, but it’s clear that we’re only interested in protecting our consumers when it really means chipping away at a foreign rival’s burgeoning soft power.

Yes it maybe selective and hypocritical but it also sets precedent. Other companies can be held accountable more easily now.
