"Roblox has been criticized for not doing enough to protect its young user base and faces scrutiny over its marketing and moderation practices."
"Discord has been accused of misleading parents about its safety features, failing to properly manage direct messaging and exposing children to harmful content."
Officials in Florida and New Jersey are investigating popular gaming platforms Roblox and Discord amid child safety concerns. 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.
