Louisiana AG continues Roblox, the alleged platform is “ exceeds ” with children’s predators

First on Fox: The Louisiana general prosecutor has brought a trial against Roblox, alleging that the widely used online game platform is plagued by children’s predators and harmful content.

The State Prosecutor General, Liz Murrill, said that Roblox, an interactive online game program for children, boasting more than 80 million users, cared more about driving profits than the installation of guarantees that would help protect young players.

“Due to the lack of Roblox safety protocols, he endangers the safety of Louisiana’s children,” Murrill said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. “Roblox is invaded by harmful content and children’s predators because it hierartes user growth, income and profits on children’s safety.

The Louisiana attorney general focused on the Roblox registration process, alleging that the company does not check the age of a user and therefore facilitates children’s predators to pose as a child and interact with them.

“The final result is that the defendant, thanks to his inability to implement adequate security characteristics and his inability to provide a danger notice, provides the ideal place for pedophiles,” wrote state prosecutors in the petition.

Roblox did not respond to the request for comments from Fox News Digital.

Murrill also alleged that the platform includes “experiences” which are sometimes not appropriate and yet are not labeled as such.

Louisiana lawyers have said that Roblox did not provide age designations on experiences “in order to increase the number of uses for experience in order to increase income”, in violation of consumer protection laws.

Lawyers have said that the platform offers minors the opportunity to play in “condo games” in which their avatars can enter the houses and remove their virtual clothes and engage in simulated sexual acts with avatars from other users.

According to a study cited in the petition, at one point, the platform hosted more than 600 games “Diddy” centered on the criminal charges of the famous rapper Sean “Diddy” and presented hundreds of references to the deceased financial Jeffrey Epstein, who was a registered sex offender presumed to have under-manarine women trafficked by sex.

Murrill unveiled the trial at a press conference and credited the state’s internet crimes against the children who are investigating the company. More than 40% of Roblox users are under 12, she said, adding that the trial was part of a wider effort to deal with an increase in sexual crimes against minors.

“The number of advice that is now coming from the number of advice we used about 10 years ago is magnificent,” said Murrill. “The figures have increased exponentially. … It has become so much more difficult because of social media sites which not only invite our children, but they facilitate their exploitation.”
