Louisiana AG calls Roblox ‘perfect place for pedophiles’ in lawsuit amid calls for CEO’s resignation
The Roblox Corporation reportedly issued a legal complaint last week to a 22-year-old content creator known as “Schlep,” a self-styled “predator hunter” who claims his investigations led to six arrests of individuals attempting to groom minors on the platform.
Roblox Corp. shares fell more than 6% Friday after the company, which operates an online video-game service popular with children, was accused in two lawsuits of failing to sufficiently protect youngsters on its platform.
Roblox isn't facing a ban in the United States right now, but recent controversy has sparked debate on the platform's future in its home country.
