Roblox Is Reportedly Being Sued For “Practices That Endanger And Exploit Children” Again
Los Angeles County has filed a suit calling the platform “a breeding ground for predators”.

Once again, Roblox finds itself on the receiving end of a lawsuit revolving around the company’s policies when it comes to children using its platform. As we know, the platform has been the subject of many concerns involving the safety of the children who use it, and we’ve covered several things they have done in response to those concerns. That said, it seems that those things are still not enough – at least for Los Angeles County, which happens to be the latest group to file suit.
According to an article on Game Developer, which we discovered by way of MassivelyOP, the suit claims Roblox is using “unfair and deceptive business practices that endanger and exploit children”. It also calls the platform an “unsafe online environment” and a “breeding ground for predators”. It goes on to state that this issue lies behind Roblox’s “design choices, safety failures, and false and misleading representations”.
As for what the County seeks to achieve out of this suit, they’ve asked for “injunctive relief, abatement, and civil penalties of up to $2,500 per day for each violation”. This might not seem like a lot, but as it’s daily and it’s for multiple violations, it could be a significant amount.
Roblox has issued a statement on the matter, stating that they “strongly dispute the claims” and “will defend against it vigorously”.
