Louisiana has filed a lawsuit against Roblox, alleging that the platform fails to adequately protect children from sexual predators and harmful content, despite safety measures.

Previous incidents, including a case where a 13-year-old girl was trafficked after contact with a predator on Roblox, highlight ongoing safety concerns.

The lawsuit claims Roblox prioritizes user growth and profits over child safety, citing harmful experiences like 'Escape to Epstein Island' and 'Diddy Party'.

Roblox restricts sharing videos and images and attempts to block personal information, but users often find ways around these safeguards.

While Roblox restricts children under 13 from chatting outside of games without parental permission and monitors private chats, it lacks a robust age verification system.

The platform's monitoring of private chats is necessary because these conversations are not encrypted, raising safety concerns.

Roblox emphasizes its efforts to detect and prevent inappropriate content through resources and AI, but acknowledges no system is perfect.

Despite safety measures, concerns remain that the platform’s safeguards can be bypassed, leaving children vulnerable.

Roblox is testing a new age verification system involving video selfies for users aged 13-17 and has deployed AI systems that reported over 1,200 potential child exploitation attempts in early 2025.

In the first half of 2025, Roblox’s AI system identified numerous potential exploitation cases, reporting them to authorities, highlighting ongoing safety challenges.

With over 111 million monthly users, Roblox describes itself as a virtual universe for creating and sharing experiences, but faces criticism over its child safety protections.

This legal action is part of broader efforts to hold online platforms accountable for protecting minors from exploitation and abuse.

In Louisiana, law enforcement reports multiple cases involving predators using voice-altering technology to impersonate minors on Roblox, though no arrests have been made.
