Second State Sues Roblox for Failing to Protect Kids
Roblox is full of child predators, according to a new lawsuit, and the company does not do enough to protect children.
According to a lawsuit filed by the Kentucky Attorney General, the wildly popular gaming platform knowingly exposes children to predators, violent content, and sexual material while falsely advertising itself as a safe environment for kids. Roblox is primarily used by children between the ages of 9 and 12.
The lawsuit accuses Roblox of violating Kentucky’s consumer protection laws by misrepresenting the platform’s safety, failing to require proper age verification, and allowing dangerous content to flourish in its so-called “experiences.”
Examples include user-created games that simulate graphic violence, including so-called “assassination simulators,” one of which featured the targeting of public figures like Charlie Kirk.
This is the second state to sue Roblox. Louisiana is also suing Roblox over similar claims. The company also faces several civil suits from families who say that their children were contacted by perverts on Roblox.
Roblox pushed back and said that they do have “rigorous safety measures” for their 111 million daily active users and that they are “constantly innovating” more.
Still probably best to watch your kids if they play Roblox.
