Roblox Faces Legal Challenges Over Child Safety Concerns
Roblox, a popular online gaming platform, is facing multiple lawsuits from state attorneys general over allegations of inadequate child protection measures. The Attorney General of Louisiana has accused Roblox of creating an environment conducive to predatory behavior by failing to implement robust age verification and effective moderation. Similar lawsuits have been filed by Texas, which claims that Roblox prioritizes profits over child safety, and Florida, which has issued criminal subpoenas against the company. These legal actions highlight concerns about the platform's ability to protect young users from online predators who use tools like voice-altering software to exploit children. Roblox has denied these allegations, citing its use of AI tools, moderation systems, and age-verification efforts as part of its safety measures.
