Louisiana Attorney General has filed a "Child Protection" lawsuit against Roblox
The Louisiana Attorney General has filed a lawsuit against the online gaming platform Roblox, alleging that it fails to adequately protect its majority underage user base from online predators. The state claims that Roblox does not implement basic safety controls, such as age verification or parental consent requirements, allowing predators to pose as children and exploit users. The lawsuit also cites specific "experiences" within Roblox, which are custom games created by users, that the state finds particularly troubling, such as "Escape to Epstein Island" and "Public Bathroom Simulator Vibe." The state is seeking permanent injunctive relief, civil penalties, and actual damages from Roblox. While Roblox has stated that it has implemented "rigorous technology and enforcement safeguards," the state believes the platform is still not doing enough to protect its users, particularly children.
