Texas Sues Roblox Over Child "Exploitation And Grooming" Concerns
"Ken Paxton, a Republican who's been Texas's AG since 2015 and is making a bid for U.S. Senate, announced the lawsuit in an X post on November 6. In the documentation, his office claimed Roblox Corporation was "flagrantly ignoring state and federal laws while deceiving parents about the dangers of its platform." The suit continues, claiming that Paxton is taking action because "Roblox chose to put pixel pedophiles and corporate profit over the safety of Texas children.""
""We cannot allow platforms like Roblox to continue operating as digital playgrounds for predators where the well-being of our kids is sacrificed on the altar of corporate greed," Paxton said. "Roblox must do more to protect kids from sick and twisted freaks hiding behind a screen. Any corporation that enables child abuse will face the full and unrelenting force of the law.""
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against Roblox Corporation alleging the platform flagrantly ignored state and federal laws and exposed children to sexually explicit content, exploitation, and grooming. Paxton, a Republican and AG since 2015 who is running for U.S. Senate, announced the suit on November 6 and accused Roblox of deceiving parents and putting "pixel pedophiles and corporate profit" over Texas children’s safety. Paxton called Roblox a digital playground for predators and vowed legal action. A Roblox spokesperson said the company was "disappointed," called the claims misrepresentations, and said Roblox has measures to remove bad actors and protect users.
