      To block it, or even train a model to block similar content.

      That’s of course not the reason here. But that would be a reasonable reason if it wasn’t done by Roblox.

      I mean for years Roblox had accusations porn stuff they didn’t remove,(or didnt properly remove)
      IIRC Ruben Sim covers about it,and if Roblox/Google tries to silence him you can find his videos on archival sites or reuploads.
