Los Angeles County filed a lawsuit against Roblox, alleging the platform fails to protect children from sexual content, exploitation, and predators.
The legal action claims the company’s content moderation and age-verification systems are inadequate.
The suit alleges these failures create a public nuisance and violate California's false advertising laws by portraying the platform as safe for children.
Legal filings assert that Roblox is aware its platform design makes children vulnerable to pedophiles.
A Roblox spokesperson rejected the allegations, stating the company built the platform with safety at its core.
The company maintains it uses advanced safeguards to monitor harmful content and collaborates with law enforcement to hold violators accountable.
