The state of Louisiana has filed a lawsuit against the online gaming platform Roblox, accusing it of failing to protect children from sexual predators. The lawsuit alleges that Roblox has created an environment where predators can "thrive, unite, hunt and victimize kids," prioritizing profits over child safety. Louisiana's Attorney General has emphasized that the platform is a breeding ground for sex predators due to inadequate age verification and content moderation. In response to the mounting legal pressure, Roblox has updated its policies on romantic and sexual content and promised improved moderation. The lawsuit also advocates for sweeping digital ID laws to enforce stricter age verification across online platforms, with the Attorney General's stance summarized as "No ID, no access." Meanwhile, privacy-focused solutions like Concordium ID, a zero-knowledge age verification application, have been introduced to address online age verification challenges.
