Overview
- Attorney General Ken Paxton alleges Roblox exposed minors to sexually explicit content, exploitation and grooming while prioritizing profits and so‑called “pixel pedophiles.”
- Roblox rejects the claims as sensationalized, citing industry‑leading protocols, bans on image sharing in chat, automated filters, thousands of moderators and cooperation with law enforcement.
- The Texas action follows similar lawsuits by attorneys general in Kentucky and Louisiana, reflecting expanding state pressure over child protection on the platform.
- Roblox has rolled out new safeguards in 2025, including selfie‑based age estimation for chat access, standardized content labels, teen protections and an open‑source tool to block sharing of personal information.
- The scrutiny comes as Roblox reported 151.5 million daily active users in Q3 2025, with the company previously saying about 40% of daily users were under age 13.
