Roblox Is Not Doing Enough To Protect Kids, Lawmaker Says
Congressman Ro Khanna, a Democrat from California, has called on the developers of the online gaming platform Roblox to do more to protect children from exploitation and abuse. Khanna claims that Roblox is "simply not doing enough" to safeguard young users, inform parents, and go after child predators. He has launched a petition urging Roblox to take stronger measures, with a goal of reaching 1 million signatures by August 15. The petition states that Roblox is "at a crossroads" and must do more to protect children, provide more support to parents, and strengthen law enforcement protocols. Roblox has faced criticism in the past for its handling of safety issues, including a 2024 Bloomberg report that exposed a pedophile problem on the platform. The company's CEO has responded to concerns by suggesting that parents should not let their children use Roblox if they are not comfortable with it.
