Roblox, the internet’s biggest playground for kids, is facing significant challenges in its fight against online predators. Recent incidents highlight the platform's ongoing struggle to ensure the safety of its young users. A convicted sex offender in Kansas met an 8-year-old girl on Roblox and traded the platform's virtual currency, Robux, for explicit videos. Despite measures like chat filters and parental controls, these safeguards are not foolproof. Roblox users have also reported issues with the chat filter and other settings, although some of these technical problems have been resolved. $RBLX has been trending with the hashtag #RobloxDown.
$RBLX There is Option on $RBLX to Turn Chat off and some other modes for kids for parents to switch on! There some weird folks chatting there. But its not fool proof, but we have strict NO CHAT policy for all our kids when they use $RBLX This should not be happening. https://t.co/gRJtTDL7kh
