Overview

• Louisiana’s 39-page complaint claims Roblox facilitated child sexual abuse material and perpetuated an environment where predators could target minors, seeking injunctions, civil penalties, damages, restitution and legal fees.
• Attorney General Liz Murrill argues the platform prioritized user growth and profits over safety, exposing more than half of its 111 million monthly users—many under age 16—to grooming and sextortion risks.
• Roblox has rejected the allegations and pointed to more than 40 new safeguards, including AI-driven content moderation, selfie-based age estimation, stricter defaults for users under 13 and content maturity labels.
• The company faces a wave of parallel private lawsuits alleging similar negligence and saw its share price fall roughly 9% as legal and political scrutiny intensified.
• Legal experts say the case could redefine age verification and moderation standards on youth-oriented, user-generated content platforms.
