Overview

• Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill filed a state case on August 14 alleging Roblox failed to verify ages, facilitated child sexual abuse material, and violated consumer-protection law, seeking injunctions, penalties, and restitution.
• Roblox disputes the allegations and says it invests heavily in safety through human moderation, filters, and its Sentinel AI, noting about 1,200 potential child exploitation reports were sent to NCMEC in the first half of 2025.
• New policy updates ban content or behavior that implies sexual activity and limit social hangouts set in private spaces and virtual bars or clubs to ID-verified users 17 and older, with developers of those spaces also required to verify they are 17 or older.
• Unrated experiences will be locked to creators unless they obtain a maturity label via a new questionnaire, and Roblox plans technology to detect violative scenes and automatically shut down servers with high volumes of rule-breaking behavior.
• Parent-led litigation is broadening as firms including Dolman Law Group report multiple filings and hundreds of additional claims under review, with recent cases and law enforcement statements spotlighting alleged predation linked to the platform.
