It allows users to falsify their age and provides no reliable way to confirm parental consent.

Parental consent

Weak parental consent and oversight mechanisms

App Design and Robux Currency System

Predators can use in-game currency to lure children into sexual activity.

Insufficient Content Moderation

Some games have sexual content, and Roblox may not adequately monitor them.

Roblox may face liability for negligence, failure to protect minors, inadequate safety controls, and misleading claims about the platform’s safety for children.

Potential defendants
