Virtual Minecraft protest demands Microsoft address the game’s sexual predator problem

“Sexual predators are hunting kids on Minecraft,” the sign says.

“Minecraft is ignoring 120,000 parents asking them to keep kids safe,” reads the other side of the sign.

While these may read like billboard signs you’d read on the side of the road, you won’t come across them in real life. The signs are found in the game Minecraft. This is a virtual protest, after all, put together by the national parents organization, ParentsTogether.
