Overview

• The Attorney General filed the lawsuit on August 14 in Baton Rouge, accusing Roblox of intentionally or recklessly designing its platform without adequate age verification and facilitating child sexual abuse material.
• The state seeks to bar Roblox from claiming it has sufficient safety features and is pursuing civil penalties, restitution and attorney’s fees under the Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices Act.
• Roblox has disputed the claims, highlighting its Sentinel AI system’s roughly 1,200 reports to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in the first half of 2025, alongside 24/7 human moderation and new parental controls.
• A coalition of parent-lawyer firms is preparing additional suits alleging similar safety shortcomings, marking a growing wave of legal actions against the platform.
• Observers say the unfolding litigation could set precedents for platform liability and spur broader regulatory scrutiny of user-generated content services.
