Kentucky Files Second State Lawsuit Against Roblox Over Child Safety Failures

Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman has filed a lawsuit against Roblox, accusing the gaming platform of failing to protect children from online predators and exposing them to violent and sexual content. The lawsuit claims Roblox operates as a "playground for predators," with inadequate safety measures, insufficient parental controls, and a failure to inform parents of the dangers. This legal action follows a similar lawsuit filed by Louisiana in August and adds to growing scrutiny over Roblox's child safety practices amid reports of predators using the platform to target minors. Roblox has denied the allegations, highlighting its use of advanced AI, a large moderation team, and strict safety defaults for users under 13, including chat restrictions and filtering. Kentucky's suit demands improved safeguards such as effective age verification, stronger content filters, and better parental notifications. The case underscores ongoing concerns about the safety of children on popular online platforms and Roblox's responsibility to prevent exploitation.
