Roblox Under Fire Over Child Safety | Portland News
Description
Roblox is under fire from lawsuits across multiple states, accused of failing to protect kids from online predators — one case involves an 18-year-old groomed since age eight by someone posing as a peer, who even tried to convince her to run away. The lawsuit claims Roblox knowingly designs its platform to expose children to risk, prioritizing growth over safety. The company defends itself, highlighting age checks, facial verification for under-16s, and new “Roblox Kids” and “Roblox Select” accounts designed to filter content and empower parents — arguing these measures exceed industry standards. This case underscores the high-stakes battle to keep kids safe online while preserving digital freedom.
