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.

So that deal I made with the devil to swap my soul for a monster truck when I was a kid isn't legally enforceable?!

Legally? No. Spiritually? Still probably no.

No no. Delivery is just late. I talked to Saber-hagan yesterday about it. They assure me it's totally bitchin'!

Contracts are two sided. If one party doesn't fulfill their side, the other doesn't either. So unless the Devil produces a monster truck, they are not entitled to your soul.
