Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has subpoenaed Roblox for information on its marketing practices to children and measures to protect them from predators. Roblox faces criticism for insufficient safety protocols given its user base of 85 million. Meanwhile, New Jersey's Attorney General Matthew Platkin is suing Discord, alleging it misrepresented its safety features and has inadequately managed user content, exposing minors to harmful materials. Both companies state they will cooperate with legal scrutiny.
Roblox has been criticized for not doing enough to protect its young user base and faces scrutiny over its marketing and moderation practices.
