The Louisiana Attorney General, Liz Murrill, has filed a lawsuit against the online gaming platform Roblox, accusing it of enabling the distribution of child sexual abuse material and failing to protect minors from predators. The lawsuit alleges that Roblox prioritized growth and revenue over child safety, creating an environment where sexual predators can thrive, unite, hunt, and victimize children. Following multiple child safety lawsuits, Roblox has begun cracking down on user-created content, restricting sexual content and access to adult locations, and promising improved moderation. The platform, launched in 2006, has grown into a major gaming entity but faces ongoing controversy regarding its monetization model targeting children. The lawsuit is part of a broader scrutiny of online platforms and their responsibility to protect young users. Additionally, the Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection in Indonesia has expressed support for blocking Roblox if it is deemed highly dangerous. Meanwhile, Nevada’s attorney general has filed a separate lawsuit against the social media messaging app Kik, citing safety concerns for children.
