Roblox has rejected claims in a new report that accuses the company of misleading investors by inflating key metrics, as well as failing to protect young users from sexual predators and inappropriate content. The report also raised concerns over protection for minors, describing Roblox as "an X-rated pedophile hellscape, exposing children to grooming, pornography, violent content and extremely abusive speech." Hindenburg suggested that there is no up-front screening to prevent sexual predators from joining the platfrom, and that Roblox's social media features make it easy to target children.
