Can an 8-year-old waive their rights to sue a company by clicking a box?

That’s the stance of Roblox, an online gaming platform that bills itself as a digital playground.

The argument comes as the $41-billion company is embroiled in a lawsuit with the family of a Northern Kentucky child whose death by suicide, her mother says, is related to use of the platform.

    You can’t sign any rights away in the EU.

    It’s great because I know my rights here and I can just accept any terms knowing they can’t fuck me over no matter what I accept.

      Sorry, not true (I wish it were). Even in the EU there are few rights that cannot be taken away or waived.
