Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued Roblox, accusing the popular online gaming platform of “flagrantly ignoring” safety laws and “deceiving parents” about the dangers it poses to young users. Paxton claims Roblox is a “breeding ground for predators” that prioritizes “corporate profit” over child safety.

• Roblox is especially popular with children and has tens of millions of daily active users.
• Attorney General Ken Paxton stated that Roblox is putting “pixel paedophiles and corporate profit” over the safety of Texas children.
• Roblox stated it is “disappointed” by the lawsuit, calling the claims “misrepresentations and sensationalised.”
• This lawsuit follows similar actions by the US states of Kentucky and Louisiana concerning potential harms to children.
• Roblox has been banned in some countries, including Turkey, over concerns about child exploitation.
