Lordy, I hate sensationalized editorial headlines. This is the actual quote.

Asked by co-host Casey Newton how he thinks about the issue of child predators on his platform, the Roblox CEO said the issue wasn’t just a “problem, but an opportunity as well.”

This is standard corpo/PR speak when addressing an issue, you refer to it as an "opportunity", there's an implied "to solve/address".

This did not make it better.

Contrarians don't understand the difference between disagreeing and having a point.

Reminds me of an old joke...

Man goes to his boss and says "can we talk. I have a problem!"

His boss gets mad and replies "I don't want to hear about your problems. We are an opportunity based company. We don't have problems we have opportunities to improve. Do you understand?"

The man thinks and then replies "yeah, I get it."

"great now tell me what you wanted to talk about, and you better not use the word problem!"

"well.. Based on what you said, I have a huge drinking opportunity"

Ludicrously bad wording, a CEO really should have realized that there's situations corpo speak isn't the right choice
