Louisiana Attorney General has filed a "Child Protection" lawsuit against Roblox


Louisiana is suing Roblox alleging the platform is not doing enough to protect its underage users.

There are over 6.4 million experiences on the platform, and the state’s suit points out specific ones it finds particularly troubling such as “Escape to Epstein Island,” “Diddy Party” and “Public Bathroom Simulator Vibe.” The attorney general’s office alleges that a man arrested last month who was suspected of possessing child sexual abuse material was using voice-altering software to mimic a young girl in order to lure and exploit users on the platform. One popular user named "Schlep" was basically running To Catch a Predator within Roblox and was controversially banned from the platform this month.
