Louisiana lawsuit sues Roblox for “overspending” with child predators

First on Fox: Louisiana’s attorney general filed a lawsuit Thursday, alleging that the widely used online gaming platform is full of child predators and harmful content.

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill said Roblox is an interactive online gaming program for children, touting more than 80 million users, caring more about driving profits than installing safeguards that help protect younger users.

“It has endangered the safety of children in Louisiana due to Roblox’s lack of security protocols,” Muriel said in a statement to Fox News. “Roblox is overwhelmed by harmful content and child predators because it prioritizes user growth, revenue and profit over child safety.

Louisiana’s attorney general has zeroed in during Roblox’s registration process, accusing the company of not verifying the user’s age, thus making it easy for child predators to act as child positions.

“The end result is that the defendant has provided an ideal location for the pedophile because of his failure to implement adequate safety features and failing to provide dangerous notices,” he said.
