Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill filed a lawsuit against Roblox, the widely popular online gaming platform, citing failure to adequately protect children from sexual predators.

The lawsuit was filed in state court, accusing Roblox of creating an environment where predators can “hunt and victimize” children due to insufficient safety measures.

The big picture: Murrill alleges Roblox prioritizes user growth, revenue, and profits over the safety of children using the platform. • Roblox currently boasts over 111 million monthly users worldwide and markets itself as a virtual universe where users can create and share experiences. • Despite Roblox’s efforts, harmful content and adult predators have proliferated on the platform, according to the suit and law enforcement reports.
