The lawsuit alleges that Roblox is prioritizing profits over child safety.

The attorney general of Louisiana filed a lawsuit on Thursday against the popular online gaming platform Roblox, accusing it of failing to protect child users. “While no system is perfect, Roblox has implemented rigorous safeguards—such as restrictions on sharing personal information, links, and user-to-user image sharing—to help protect our community,” a company spokesperson said. In a blog post responding to the lawsuit, Roblox highlighted its efforts to protect children on its platform, including 40 new features rolled out over the past year.
